Nacho, Eggplant are heat loving plants (and seeds) and can be finicky about germinating. It's great that you are starting to see results.nachoqtpie said:I thought my eggplant seeds were a loss... but this morning I woke up and I had 1 tiny little eggplant sprout making its way through the soil! I haven't been this happy about something so small in a very long time!

I had to start the easter seeds before Christmas! These may be Annuals, but they're Biennials now -- theyll have lived over 2 years! (2011-2012!)chicken stalker said:
I've always had a hard time germinating Bearbind (which is closely related), too. The seed packet said 10-14 days from sowing till germination. You are supposed to soke Bearbind seeds in water overnight the day before you sow them -- and then, after vain attempts to start about 20 seeds, I pour the water (containing the soaked seeds) into the pot -- and two germinate in less then 24 hours. Yeah, I'm definately saving seed from those two. That's incredible! I've never even heard of anything like that!lesa said:
I got my DD babysitter to do carrots in a bucket... they are doing good for her. She planted them in October. Not big enough to harvest, but I told her with the mild winter, give them a few more weeks and they'll really get going for her again.nachoqtpie said:
What kind of bucket? Like a large paint type bucket like you would get at Lowes? (I guess they would be 10 gallon? The ones with the tall straight sides)vfem said:I got my DD babysitter to do carrots in a bucket... they are doing good for her. She planted them in October.
