FLOWER SEEDS

I thought i would start the day by sowing a couple of different type of seeds today. Some people will say it is a bit to early to sow flower seeds, i realy dont believe that because if you are going to grow very small seeds such as PETUNIAS-- BEGONIAS--LOBELIA  they take a little longer to germinate unless you have a heating system. I do have a heated propagator but it is only a small one which is now being used for some of my veg seeds. To over come the heating problem i do like a lot of other people do and use the window sill (with the permission of the wife of course ). The seeds i have mentioned above are the ones that i have had in the fridge for three weeks. You might ask why i put them in the fridge, well you can say that i am making the seeds think it is partly summer when they are sown as well as being laid on warm compost and covered  with a very very light dusting of vermiculite.I am thinking of purchasing a soil warming cable because i am in the middle of making a plant nursery and it would be very handy. Will give an update later on.
