Komatunas germinating


I am very happy to see my komatunas have germinated.
I've been worried about delay of the germination since I seeded them 2 weeks ago.




It's too early for me to judge if my komatunas will be successful or not but I can not help thinking why only a few of them have germinated.
I'm seeking causes of the germination delay through the Internet and books,,,.

I found that when the weather gets cooler it takes a bit longer for komatsuna seeds to germinate than usual. But it is more hardy than other asian leaf vegetables.How do you make pickled komatsuna?

Thank you for your advice.
Yeah, I think this cold weather might delay the germination. What I have to do is to wait for a while.
Now my wife is on her job so I'll ask her the recipe of pickled komatuna.

I am sure they will sprout fine, but just in case you can try setting some more just in case. I found komatsunas to be one of the most hardy plants i have seen, mines germinated right away and they survived a lot of rain and wind from the typhoon

Yeah, I have plan to extra komatunas for the case in small patch.
