130 tubers

I have the growing medium at 20c The temp in the g/house hasn't been above 6 degs c for a few days now. 10 to 20c should be OK and they'll grow quicker at 20c than 10c. I fire up the tubers in an airing cupboard with the tray covered with a plastic lid (keeps them humid)

I have some Dahlias in pots in my propagator at a temp. of 18 degrees C. I think the first one has been in at least three weeks.
