Emptied a tray of CFBs that hadn't germinated. They seem to have gone squidgy in the modules. Interestingly, I've just read this which could explain the cause:-
"Tender plants such as beans and courgettes hate cold nights. At the other end of the scale, fleshy seeds such as peas and beans when sown in a greenhouse can get too hot and almost cook when the temperature is in the 20’s. The seed just rots off. We use John Innes No 1 for these, it’s a loam based compost and doesn’t get as hot as the peat free."
I'll keep my next seeds in the house until they germinate.
Interesting, I've always thought that mine failed because of wet and cold, never gave a thought to too hot. Food for thought.
