A steady rain in the night, then a pleasantly warm day, does it for me...
True, there is an ideal scenario there.

We use most for making leek and potato soup and, like Stephen, have found we use almost as many from the 'rejected' seedlings as the properly grown plants. I wonder if for soup it would be easier just to sow a long drill and grow them like large spring onions. Anybody tried it?
