Hey,

I've sown some seeds today. All the varieties that can be sown indoors in january, i've sown them. there were about....25 different things and i had to put 3 varieties in most trays lol.

i didn't have anything to put them in....or any lids for the seed trays so i've put them on an old coffee table that i didn't need next to a window. and i've put a mug of water in there aswell to raise humidity. then i popped some sticks on the sides and placed cling film all over the top and sealed it along the bottom. hopefully it should keep the heat and moisture in. obviously i'll give it 5-10 minutes of ventilation every couple of days.

what do you guys think? i know it's looks ugly lol.....but do you think it'll work?

anyone else sowing anything this tie of the year?

I see no reason why it shouldn't work as long as you've only planted things which can manage a longish spell with plenty of warmth and little light. The only things I plant at this time are seeds which I think might need a cold spell before germination. I'll start planting veg in a month or so, that's early enough for me.

Depends on what you mean by 'all the varieties that can be sown in January'. ???

i sowed a lot of things, like red hot pokers, primulas, verbena, a type of stipa, obedient plant, sweet peas, mecanopsis, sea hollies etc.

all of them said on the packets that they could be sown indoors in january and then hardened off in may.

lol. it took me a while to figure out what's so obedient about them. it's the flowers i think....they stay where you put them.

I know some people talk to their plants, even play music to them but keeping them  supplied with tea/coffee is new to me 8)

Whats in the cup?

I'm sure they'll all be fine Wahaj and if they are not there's still plenty of time to start some more.  I am planning more flowers [as well as many more veg] this year & lost of them say on the packet to start them off indoors in January so I have planted some including sweet peas [which have mainly germinated] anthirinum, gazinia [?] & some geraniums which went I found there were only 4 seeds in the packet I decided to treat with great respect!  50p a seed they better be good!
