Default Arggh! Three days, nothing

It is already three days since I sowed the first seeds - and so far, nothing! No sign of life yet! What a travesty ... by this time, the first leaves should already be up..
No blooming plant yet arghhh!

I thought the usual three day wait would be enough.. sigh!

Byy tomorrow, the plant better be fully grown and covered with blossoms!

Yay! Depending on the seeds and the conditions, germination varies for me between 3-7 days and sometimes can take a couple weeks for the stubborn ones to show up. It can be nerve wracking though, especially if you only have a couple seeds of a highly prized variety.

I am glad you are finally seeing babies. Hope the rest pop up their heads for you soon.
