Most of our seeds germinate in 3-5 days here and the rest within a week (maybe 2 if I planted too deep and they don't poke there heads out right away) unless they are dormant and then they may take up to 3 months. The first year I planted seeds I transplanted the seedlings after 6 weeks and the seed trays with the ones that had not germinated got dumped into a pile. Well a few weeks later I noticed I had seedlings everywhere in that pile. Of course they stayed there as I had no idea the crosses any longer but it goes to show a little patients goes along way sometimes.
