just a thought Mary.....I have tried something (new to me ) this year, germinating the seeds on a paper (kitchen roll) paper..... using a cap full of hydro peroxide to a small bottle of (rain water) give it a shake and use (just enough of this mix ) to dampen down the paper …..place seeds on the paper …...then fold the paper towel over the seeds then fold over the opposite way …..so you end up with one quarter …….slip this into a Ziploc poly bag and place on the window sill …….check when you see the seeds start to sprout , then plant on into pots......up to now the results have been brilliant ……3% hydro peroxide …….also been spaying seed pots with the same mix …...the cucumbers have come on big time (never seen such growth) EVER before they are 3" high right now ! the tomatoes are 4/6 inches high ….never ever seen such growth …...up at the garden centre earlier ….£1.25 for one tomato plant …...I have seventy and better ….." why so many SS " ………….I don't bloody know ! ……….everything in that small polytunnel is doing fantastic ! …..I can't get any more in there , also …..been introduced to the benefits of Epsom salts and healthy plants , I have now got 20 kls of it …..plus a gallon of hydro peroxide in stock plus 200 ltrs of perlite …….in fact I have grown 8" taller just this very week ! .
