I am on country property. Near Mathis Tx. south of San Antonio. Temps. here for the highs are often over 100. One day a few days ago was it was 115 deg. in the shade! I am trying to germinate a variety of vegetables for fall crop. I cannot get even seeds like watermelon; cucumber; squash to germinate. I use the 2in. 6-paks ---deep--- and the medium is 50-50 peat moss and vermiculite. The flats are kept under a large carport. No direct sun. To keep them moist I water once a day. I use quality fresh seeds. What am I doing wrong? I MUST get seeds started this mo. to have fall crops. Thanks. Jim
