Hello all,
So I planted 4 varieties of seed in 32 individual peat pots about 2 weeks ago. I put about 4-6 seeds in each pot with the understanding that if more than 1 germinated, I would have to remove the extra. I planted them in a peat moss/miracle grow combination that was advertised as suitable for tomatoes. It contained a decent amount of nitrogen, so I assumed it was decent for tobacco. So far, I have had 1 connecticut broadleaf seed germinate. I thought I would have more germinate by now. My seeds are in a SE facing window, and the temp. of my house is around 70 degrees. Am I just being impatient, or should I do something to attempt to save the seeds? I figured that maybe when I watered the seeds, I also buried them. Also I had the dumb idea to plant them outside whilst living in the "windy city". Perhaps some blew away. Perhaps I can remove the top part of the soil in each pot, and spread it over a paper towel to germinate. Please advise.
Thanks,
-Scott
