[Arid_gardener] Impatient for germination

[Carolyn Stoffel]

I planted beets, snow peas, and ranunculus (bulbs) on January 5th. As of 
this morning (Saturday, Jan. 20th), not a speck of green. Have I done 
something wrong or is this freezing weather delaying germination?

I'd planned some succession plantings but doing so seems rather 
pointless until I see some growth on the earlier planting.
