I seeded my new flax seeds (as opposed to saved ones) on May 7. Normally they germinate over 7 to 10 days, but 3 weeks later I had exactly 8 seedlings growing. So I re-seeded the plot last week, May 28, and now 7 to 10 days later I have good germination. However, since I sowed the seeds late, I do not know if the crop will ripen properly. Only time will tell.
