Germination Longer or shorter varieties of note - Page 2

BlackBear · March 15, 2016

My Ildi came out in about 10 days .....so a bit longer but not too terrible

I have about 72 varieties in the first run of seedlings this year .....
My only 2 non emergence thus far are Florigold basket and Yellow Pygmy ...

The smaller mini varieties can take much longer sometimes ....I also read where Yellow pygmy was to be "surface sown " according to Plant world UK.....and surface with moisture
immediate light warmth etc. .....

So back to the seedling start #2 to retry the above 2 late comers (just in case ) and maybe a few more mini/ micro dwarfs as well ...

Bah ! about 80 varieties this year ....and only one No show ....so far

Florigold basket ...it seemed like a hard one to find ....but there could be a reason for that if germination was longer or more difficult ......
will see if it comes up ridiculous late ........happy Tomatoes all !
