My seedlings are beginning to germinate in 32F to 36F weather lol. Usually they begin to germinate around March 31rst and on, but never this early. And it has been such a harsh winter here! They look healthy, and do not seem to be getting damaged by the frost. The first were Touch of Class x Sunstruck/Sunset Celebration mixed pollen. A good start, so far, but unexpected by at least a month!
forgot — btw,
I only do outdoor germinations now, so this is sans fridge, indoor lighting, etc.
Well done! The weather this year has been a complete mess, I’m not surprised that things are confused. The crocuses here are three weeks early…
I’ve had seeds germinate from flats that had frozen solid (because I stupidly left the greenhouse door open one night) and they seem to be perfectly happy, so, who knows!
