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! |

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.
