Hi all,
could this be the reason why my spinach seeds are not germinating, being too old? I bought Medania from Otter Farm early this year, of 50 sown seeds 2 germinated. I thought it was probably me doing something wrong, so I made a germination test by placing some on wet paper towels for some days, no germination at all. I’ve sown again, and again have more or less the same germination rate. They are sown in good sowing compost and kept indoors on a heating mat.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
