Dandelions take a long time to germinate? Wow, I never knew. i've been trying to keep the seeds moist. I have them in peat pots, planted in Miracle Grow enriched sphagnum peat moss mixed with sand for good drainage. Dandelions are known for being tough to erradicate, I guess they are just as hard to cultivate.

If they rot they are dead. Were the seeds dried enough before being sown? Germination is normally spread out over many months, and might not start for a number of weeks. Be careful that the seeds do not dry out again after they have been sown-which will delay germination even more. Paul [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
