Hi all im new at growing own stuff and just got quick question.I planted few tomatoes and pepers just woundering how long it will be before start growing and how often to water them as seeding.

Mine take around a week to show - some are quicker, some longer! These are sown in a heated propagator...
Watering - mine only get watered once a week, from underneath if I can (sitting in trays on windowsills). They shouldn't dry out too much but equally not be waterlogged?
Where are yours? -
Put mine on windowsill about 5days ago and just looks like drying out bitComment
-
Mine took about 12-15 days to germinate. Keep them moist not waterlogged and they should be fine.

I guess it's a sunny windowsill, or above a radiator?Originally posted by orty View Post
Have you got a cover on the seeds? Clingfilm or even a pop bottle? It will keep the moisture in until they germinate. They might need a bit more heat, windowsills get v.cold at nightAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
