    Sowing instructions from packet of T&M Enorma aubergine (just sowing some - another one to sow early and bring on under lights) and if anybody doesn't understand metric measurements I think they may have a problem sowing their seeds 4 inches deep even if they use vermiculite.

            Wait until June Scrungee and then write to T&M and say you bought a bag of vermiculite (at great expense) and as suggested covered the seeds to a depth of 4 inches, placed them in a heated propagator at 19C , but not a single seedling emerged.

              Throw seed down mine shaft, fill with a mixture of loam & grit, then wonder why they don't come up:biggrin:
