What did you do in the garden today?

No, it's very thin like ink. https://www.reimerseeds.com/tycoon_tomato.aspx

I really want to grow these; they produce large tomatoes and only reach 3 feet tall. I saw them growing in a YouTube Garden.

Maybe you could try to lightly scarify the seeds with fine grit sandpaper.

You guys think it's too early to start my seeds inside the house? I'm in michigan but our winter has been like 30-50's

Too early

I'll try it on a few seeds, I have another package of them, so I may still succeed.

I accidentally dropped a pvc pipe on my yellow petite watermelon plant and it broke the main stem, near the base. I cut it into sections and stuck them in coco peat.

I found out later that watermelons can be cloned from vine cuttings, so it may be a blessing in disguise. I hope they grow

You've probably seen this, but I found this paragraph about poor germination in the FAQ on the Reimerseeds website.

Anyone else having problems with their Tycoon green coated tomato seeds. It took about 2 months to get one out of 6 seeds to sprout in a petri dish with tissue and water. In addition, the sprout is kind of weak looking. I moved it into coco peat and covered it with a shot glass. I left the green seed slightly exposed with the tail end in the coco peat. I hope it makes it..........

sounds like old seeds.

Nope, there was a waiting list for these seeds, I was notified when they became available. the seeds are still within its expiration time. Test date 8/23, with 90% germination.

I see the directions says not to bottom water them, this is what I always been doing. It says they experience poor germination in wet potting mix. It also says not to cover them.

I will try again, without leaving water on the bottom.

How do you make a flock block?

This is the base recipe I use but I often add things like fresh cranberries, flax, mealworms, etc.

My flower sprouts survived the snow, but they aren’t growing

.. It also says not to cover them.

You might try sprouting them on a damp paper towel in a clam shell food container. At the first sign of germination, move them to the planting soil.
