So far so good scattered the allysum seeds for some ground cover and germination rate appears very good, will try the spinach when weather cools a bit. Currently Aug 7th in southern ON.

Some seeds have germinated but expect more in the next few weeks because of warmer weather

Direct-seeded outside instead of starting inside. Don’t see any germination so far. The rest of my order was started inside under lights with great results, so this could be a me-problem.
