I often start my seeds in little pots... or little cells in plastic bags.. unfortunatly only a few will sprout.. these I move out after they are hardened off some.. Ones that don't sprout right out are left on the heat tray under the lights till they build up in numbers.. or I have new ones to start and I need the warm/light spots.. then what..
As I was moving everything up to the roof.. I was left with a bunch of unsprouting cubes .. and thought of the Japaneese morningglories which I pull out by the hand full .....sprouts from last summer of flowers ..and in a week I'm there in the pots.. pulling them out by the handfull again ..
Then it came to me that it takes time to sprout them all out.. so I took a large plastic saucer... and made a large dish garden for the unsprouted.. today I see there are three new sprouts .. miss. b have in.. and a
Lilac 1 cross.. and a sprout from a Suzanne cross...
So..give the seeds plenty of time to sprout...then more time in a dish ... Gordon
