That's incredibly fast. I've always found parsnips about the slowest of all vegetable seeds to germinate, apart from parsley. If this is normal behaviour I can see it becoming very popular with gardeners because it will rule out the uncertainty of knowing whether your seeds are just slow to germinat...

When we had a cat, it was impossible to stop him using the veggie patch as a loo occasionally. I decided in the end it wasn't worth getting 'het up' about and just washed everything thoroughly before cooking and eating. The cat has long since died but we're still around and healthy so I guess whatev...

Another cloche/hoop option
Found this idea for making your own hoops if you want to use fleece or netting protection and want to build something which accommodates taller plants.

Thanks John. Have just popped out to follow your advice. But when I slotted the seed packet back into my seed box I noticed that it was dated 2001, so it will be interesting to see if they actually germinate. When you only need a few plants it seems rather a waste to buy a packet of seeds. I know th...

Growing swedes
Never grown them before and just want a few. Will they survive being transplanted into the ground after being sown in modules or will transplanting mean the roots don't swell & develop properly?

Would you buy one of these?
Now I've seen the ultimate in idiotic kitchen gadgetry - a strawberry slicer for £3.99 in the latest Lakeland catalogue. Who buys these things?
