Are you sowing them in the open ground-not trays or modules or under cover?-or transplanting them?
In small flower pots. i tried one seed per pot . the same thing happens long steam then drops and bends. then dies.started some in unheated greenhouse and some in conservatry same thing happens.
It is probably too warm-that is the problem-they don't transplant well if at all -so sowing then in a flowerpot will not work.
Sow them outside where you want them to grow -direct into the soil and thin out once they have germinated-they are a comparatively easy veg .
Thanks for your advice. i shall sow them on my alottment . instead.
That should work -let us know if you are successful.
