Thompson & Morgan's Seed Germination Guide

Introduction

A seed in an embryonic plant waiting to get out. It's the pleasurable task of the gardener to turn the seed from dormancy into a living thing by providing warmth, light, air and moisture.

Seeds even have their own food supply to start them off, at least until they can put down roots and draw food and water from the soil.

Some seeds are quite unfussy about the conditions that trigger them into growth and many weed seeds fall into that category. Others are so sensitive they require a carefully controlled environment to germinate.

Fortunately, the great majority of flower and vegetable seeds will emerge from their big sleep quite readily if a few common sense guidelines are followed, and that's the purpose of this guide. It has been compiled by experts in Thompson & Morgan, a company that has been in the business of providing seeds for gardeners for close on 150 years.

The hope is that with the help offered in these pages the pleasure you get from sowing seeds will be both widened and enhanced.
