I haven't been on the A4A messageboards for ages, so I am going to read the posts in Edible Plants forum for this month and follow up some of the messages here (or I can envisage pages and pages of replies!).
Spent mushroom compost - if this is alkaline, maybe this could be used for brassicas. People have already sown sweetcorn, might do mine next week or two. And as for the squash family, will do those at the same time.
As for lemongrass, I started off from seed no problem and had small grassy things but as for useable stems - no luck.
Aubergines - mine haven't germinated at all, sown 2 lots as well. Last year, the same variety didn't germinate but I had no problems with Lao Lavender (not in current Tuckers catalogue and other half used the fruit I set aside for seeds 
)
Am just a couple of days behind now on that forum, but now it is time for housework! Hope to be back later.
