So I keep reading and discovering for myself. Can take a month to germinate.
How can anything so much like a dandelion be so hard to grow?
Parnip's my latest challenge and I will not be beaten.
In a months time I might be snowed under if the sown seeds don't rot and somehow manage to sprout. There's half a pack sown out there, quarter pack in a moist tub and a quarter pack in ziplock with compost. They're supposed to be happy at 18C, so the ones in the house have no excuse.
The ones in the ground might suffer if the weeds there keep up their head start.
So far, a few of the damped seeds look to have teensy tiny spikes sprouting out. less than 0.5mm, but just visible. I'm hopeful.
