    Finally after my tour of duty as a father :) I finally have time to do some real planting. I started with what I really wanted to do a few months back ... like 7 months back :p. These seeds are from half way round the globe from @carolyn thank you so much.

    There are still lots more but I do not have the space to plant then all at once.

    There are 2 seeds in each pot made up of garden soil and Starbucks enriched compost :D.

    Keeping :fingerscrossed: hoping to see some life by next week.

    Want to see them when they come up. That should get you over the contractor problems.

    oh no. that is sad. are there more seeds? start again. you should see something within a week of planting. if not most likely they got crushed in the mail going through the machines. I have had that happen to my seeds before. very disappointing to have that happen.

    Yes I still have more seeds and will try again. I think maybe the weather had not been cooperating ... either it had been too hot or just rain and rain ... maybe not.

    KK,

    How about germinating a few seeds in a paper towel. You have more control over what happens and you can find out if the seeds are viable. Just a thought.

    Oops!!! Forgot about the paper towel trick Jerry, just sowed all the seeds directly into the bed that was prepared for the tomatoes. Thanks for the reminder.
