do seeds sprout after leaf out in spring

[priorservice]

I am anxious and looking for the seedlings.
I planted in Oct -Nov last fall and tried three methods.
1 Rake back leaves and spread then rack leaves back.
2 hand planting by scratching ground up pushing each seed in then covering back over with leaves
3 ecf seeder which by the way was awsome as far as speed accuracy and easy to use.

I have also spread Slug killer in the areas of my plantings.

It has been very dry since snow melt and a heat wave of 80 plus has hit us. Only the past few days have seen constant rain each evening.

Should they sprout soon?

In all honesty, I would have to say yes, they should have sprouted already or will be soon.  Unfortunately, I'm hearing from some folks who are having low germination this year so far.  Much of the seed could still come up, but in my case, the seed appears to still be good (dig some up and open them up), but they just are not sprouting yet.

ah yes well you are correct about the germination rates however I think it was maily my fault in some spots that I planted.
1. I treated with clorox/water mix before planting and you say not to because your seeds come pre treated with anti fungal.
2. some of the areas were just very dry this spring and guess what. I believe with all the extra rain we have received this summer more actually sprouted later. could have been the extreme winter too. -20 for extended period
3. some could have been eaten by slugs as it came up.

what did come up was looking good last week though and I actualy experimented a bit with indoor grow under lights this winter. then I put it in the back of my fridge for 3.5 months ish and planted it this spring as 1 year rootlets. It actualy worked and I got a jump start by one year doing that. but only a small number actualy came up. maybe the rest if still viable will show up this coming spring.
I love this. Its fun.
Any recommendations on surveillance cams that go 1/4 mile or more with 12vdc?

I suspect the weather had something to do with it as well.  None of my SELECT plantings germinated this year.  The seed is still there and viable though.  I participated in a study and dug about 250 seeds from one of the beds and only 10 of them floated...that's pretty good I think.  The rest just didn't come up.

Let me correct something you said though...  I am good with bleach/water at 10% on seed...but I've gotten away from it on rootlets.  I can't ship seed with fungicide on them because of different demands from growers who want to grow organically.  However, the grower bleaches at 10% and doesn't wash off the bleach and leaves it there as a preventative.  Germination rates until this year have always been stellar doing it that way.

Fweew! Good to hear about the bleach solution. I thought I may had killed the seeds. Maybe they will come up this spring. Not many seedlings made it through our 2 monthh drought in late summer. What a,wierd growing season after such a harsh winter.

[Brad]

As long as they did well through the summer before the drought hit, you should be good.  Normally after the middle of July they will have formed their bud and will be back next year even if you lose the top.

Brad can you remind/explain what SELECT  is? Is it cultivated?

[Brad]

SELECT is my brand name for ginseng seedlings I sell which are planted and grown in raised beds under shade, but are never fertilized.  They are typically larger and anticipated to be hardier than woodsgrown rootlets of the same age.
