I've had 100% germination this year. I do what I usually do, one per pot/root trainer, keep watered (they do dry out quickly in the sun in a cold greenhouse) and stand back. Bob's yer uncle, Flummy's yer aunt! I haven't soaked any this year - usually do - and I haven't given them any fussy treatment. I gave a little thought (only ever got a little to spare these days!) to moon planting but I couldn't see how you could improve on 100%. As to whether they'll be pecked/slugged to b***ery when I plant them out - that remains to be seen. It's always a challenge, this gardening lark eh?
