Germination

Sowed some trays of things a couple of weeks back, have had hit and miss success so far.


The boys also have some courgettes, butternut + sweetcorn on the go on their window sills, which are doing ok by the looks of it. Time to take them out of their plastic wrappers ...

* Matina tomatoes - zero germination
* Gardeners Delight tomatoes - 100% germination
* Roma tomatoes - 100% germination
* Rio Grande tomatoes - 100% germination
* Yellow Bush sweet'n'neat - 1 out 5 germinated
* Red Bush minibel - 90%-ish germination
* Bush tomato garden pearl - 3 out of 24
* Tumbler tomato Maskotva - 3 out of 36
* aubergine Black Beatuy - 7 out of 'many'
* green dwarf bean Tendergreen - 1 out of 48
