Germination Instructions


Sow indoors at any time. Germination can be slow so to speed things up, scratch the hard seed case in one place using a metal nail file or similar then soak the seeds in hot water for 24-48 hours. This is called "seed stratification" and if you are not familiar with how to do this, have a look at some videos on youtube etc - not hard. 


Sow 4-6 mm deep into a well-draining compost mix - ideally a mix of  50% regular compost, 50% vermiculite (which I sell in the Accessories section of my eBay shop)

Ideal germination temperature 21-27°C so ideally on a window sill over a radiator. Keep well ventilated to avoid rot. Transplant seedlings when they are 5cm tall to individual pots and grow on.


Tip - Don't be tempted to try to remove the seed case from young seedlings - I have tried and it damages the leaves. They will eventually cast off the seed coat naturally.

Growing Instructions

Can not tolerate even mild frost. Minimum temp. 12°C. Grow in a greenhouse or conservatory. Prefers a well-drained sandy soil in full, hot sun. Water well when the compost is dry. Continue to water even if the leaves are lost over winter.

Olly's General Guide to Seed Sowing!

I love sowing seeds and it runs in the family - dad, grandad and finally my great-grandad for whom the hobby helped him get over his experiences in the Great War. I still get a big kick when I see the first seedling poking through from a new plant that I have never sown before or been successful at. However, even the most experienced gardeners draw "blanks" from time to time. Whilst I sow all the seeds that I sell so I know that they are viable, some are trickier than others and problems can arise so here are some tips to make "blanks" few and far between:

1) Dont Rush! Tempting though it is when that packet arrives in the post to simply bung the seeds in some compost!

2) Google and Youtube are your friends! Take some time so see the methods other people use to germinate the seed. 

3) Think Nature! What conditions do seeds face? For example a seed from a tropical plant will fall to the warm, wet and dark jungle floor. A seed from the mountains of Europe will fall to the floor in Autumn, then have to endure months of freezing temperatures before germinating in the spring. So as growers, what we are trying to do is to simulate the conditions that the seeds will naturally experience and there are plenty of tricks that can be done to short cut the processes somewhat.

4) Good compost pays dividends . The best investment you can make is to purchase three bags - one of potting compost, one of vermiculite and one of horticultural sand. With these three bags I can make up whatever soil type a particular seed likes (although for most seeds I find a 50/50 mix of compost and vermiculite works just fine) 

5) Rot is your enemy. The single biggest danger to seed germination is rot - either before or after "damping off" the seeds germinate. To reduce the risk, ensure you have good free draining soil mix and that it is moist but not wet. The best investment you will make is a bottle of 4% hydrogen peroxide (mixed with water 1:4) - this disinfects and also encourages germination. Unless the seed variety absolutely requires it I prefer NOT to cover my seeds trays with plastic bags, Whilst germination is often faster this way, it greatly increases the risk of rot. I prefer to place my seed trans inside a watertight plastic tray and water from the bottom - airflow over the surface reduces the risk. The surface is kept moist as required by spraying with my water/peroxide mix (see above)

A fairly decent super hero romp
Format: Paperback
If Mister Terrific suffers from any one flaw it is that he is incredibly generic. Nothing about this book was particularly offensive and it provided for some fairly good reads but the villains Terrific goes up against are hardly that. Despite this weakness, I found the series to be a fairly good read and while the major ongoing storylines were clearly cut short by the title's untimely demise, the ending satisfactorily led into the current status quo for Mister Terrific on Earth-2. Whether his presence there becomes relevant or not remains to be seen (particularly with the depature of Earth-2 writer James Robinson) but as things stand now, Mind Games still seems to be valuable background reading for Earth-2 and also lays a bit of ground work for the plot in World's Finest, meaning that Mister Terrific is nicely connected to the two current Earth-2 based titles. The pace of the book is fairly decent, with several short story arcs that see Mister Terrific facing different villains and an ongoing plot throughout that deals with Terrific's secret identity and the issues he is dealing with as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. The writing is not always sharp but the supporting cast is fairly solid and its a tragedy that we probably won't see some of these characters again. Terrific himself has enjoyable, if somewhat illogical, inner monologue that typically involves him thinking through a problem and while the science is (often) fuzzy, Wallace does a good job of showing how science and tech form the basis of Mister Terrific's powerset. I would characterize this book as a solid B-list entry. Fans of the character may appreciate it as well as readers looking for something a little different but it is by no means a must-read. I'll be keeping it on my shelf as an important book for World's Finest and Earth-2 (both of which I have pulled since issue #1) however. If you can get your hands on this trade (or its related single issues) for a modest price, it provides a decent couple of hours of reading. It is a pity that nothing stands out particularly well but I appreciated that so much seemed to happen in only eight issues compared to some of the tedious extended plots of other comics.

Silver Age Batman time trip
Format: Hardcover
Fun book. I was born at the very beginning of the Silver Age and had older brothers, so I was reading by four, and had great reading material available.

A Baby Boomer dream come true!
Format: Hardcover
I love the Golden Age omnibus Batman series. However, for many of us baby boomers the Silver Age is what we’ve been craving. Those were exciting days back then, looking for the new issue of Batman or Detective Comics on the newsstand. One of the previous reviewers is correct, though, there are some missing issues between the last golden age omnibus and this, the first silver age omnibus, that need to be put into book form at some point. I certainly hope we get them. But more than anything I am really hoping that this will not be the first and last silver age omnibus. By my count, there are almost exactly the issues needed to make three more silver age volumes before we get to the “new look Batman,” which started in mid 1964. And frankly, I hope they continue on with a “new look” omnibus series as well. This first volume, though, was absolutely beautiful! The re-creation of these old panels is breathtaking. When you go back and look at the old dot matrix original issues and compare them to the re-printings contained within this omnibus…well…there simply is no comparison. Batman, the Silver Age Omnibus Volume One is practically as good as it gets. The only thing more I could have wished for would have been the inclusion of the old advertisements that decorated the pages of the original issues. Other than that, this book is perfect. Wow!
