Once germinatedf, I'll use toothpicks to pick them out and put them in the celled inserts. Why?? I got 83% germination rate from those I bought and 16% from those given to me; plus this way is SO much faster and more efficient. My marigolds are too numerous to count, to figure germination rate. Good thing I have severAl neighbors that LOVE marigolds, 'cause I have MANY more than I need!! my flat (minus 2 six-packs for my 'maters) had 4 sprouts come up yesterday. Today is their last official day of their germination range. I'll give them another week, just in case they're my "slow" chillien! LOL QQuestion: can I. . . SSHOULD I re-use the starting mix??? Pic #1 is my original 2 lonely six-packs of my famous Racing Tomatoes! pic #2 is my FLAT of marigolds |
