Hello! Mine are still in the packet too :-[  Should I start them off on damp kitchen paper, do you think?

Trying to resist as I always do them too early! ;D

Quite liked Alys's idea of using tin cans on GW last night.

Mine are all mostly up and will need potting on next week....couldn't wait as usual! ::)
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴
