Chooks Aloud Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm trying to remember what they said on Garderners World ages ago. The hard seeds i.e. peas, corn etc - is it best to soak them overnight in some water to soften before planting? I've got it into my head that you should (probably from Gardeners World) but can't be sure. What do you do? Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Exactly that! Soak them in warm water and sometimes leave them on damn kitchen paper until they have started to sprout before i plant them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) sometimes leave them on damn kitchen paper . or flippin' blotting paper works just as well Edited May 8, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Eek!!! Yes Poet, flippin' blotting paper is good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Exactly that! Soak them in warm water and sometimes leave them on damn kitchen paper until they have started to sprout before i plant them out. Careful about how warm though as they don't require heat to germinate and if kept to warm especially when first potted on they have a tendency to rot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
