The seed sowing thread - 2017

I've bought the seed compost, sorted the seeds, washed off the propagator (window-sill not heated) but need to sort out the actual containers to use which I think, are at the allotment. All warming up and should be sowing my onion seed in the next couple of days.

E - Eryngium Alpinum 'Superbum' a tray of about 20 seeds on the bathroom windowsill...

I've sown two varieties of pepper, possibly overly early but they'll be staying indoors anyway and I'd like the time for a 2nd (3rd, 4th...) try if need be. Taking advantage of the cold snap to set them on top of a radiator.
