Re: RE: HYB: Starting Indoors

Mary Lou is right that what I call "sprouting" means breaking ground. That's because I plant in pots outdoors and the green shoot breaking ground is the first indication I have that the seed has sprouted. -- Griff

What some of you are calling "sprouting" I call breaking ground. Lots of
potted sprouts are taking up to 2 weeks or so to actually break ground. And
that's at room temperature, about 62 to 67 degrees. Some sprouts dug up after
2 weeks looked fine, but had not progressed much since being planted. At
outdoor temperatures, they may actually be sprouting long before you can see
them.
