Wonder how long it takes a bee-bovvering farmer to learn to look under his bed before getting into it.

There are many different seeds, each varying in response depending upon light levels and temperature. However, a typical germination period in temperatures of around 10°c (which, of course, isn’t the case at present, but was last week) is around 10 days.

Thanks, Armers. I admit that I had grown tired of researching the whole seed germination business. Given that the fields have been covered in snow (and it’s not melting), 10°C seems an unlikely objective, forra while. So - I’ll either go into ninja-bee mode, or play the 21-gun salute on loop, to gain control of my environment. Sorted.

PS: oil seed rape is an abomination and an eyesore (no, autocorrect, not an Eeyore) and plays havoc with the Ma in terms of sneezing and edakes but the oil does make the best vegetarian roast potatoes

I agree, Gus. It looks and smells ‘orrible, in its rude form. I am convinced that its introduction to our environs triggered DS’ asthma (which has settled since he left the hive, so mebbe it wozz just the dust). However, I recognise that itizz prolly an important crop and shan’t call upon the Dunnock Flying Squad - yet.

A pecky-tecky approach. I like it, but maybe Ocularis wasn’t so keen, in the end.
As do I, Gus.
Good nights, Cellarites,
