Thanks to everyone for the replies/comments. :-)

I now feel encouraged to try using some seeds and keeping some 'behind my
ear' for later. FWIW my first experiments will probably be with:

Potentilla T&M 2570 Fireball Mixed

Aquilegia x Hybrida T&M 7851 Crown Jewels Mixed

Then once I get the delusion that I have some idea what I am doing I'll go
on to some other seeds - e.g. some Penstemons.

The instructions on the packs all tend to say germination times up to some
months. Is it correct that it should be OK to keep the seeds in their
pots/trays in a 'sealed' plastic bag for that long?

I have some "Arthur Bower's Peat Pots" that I plan to use. The ones in
front of me as I write this (still in their plastic wrap) are linked sets
of 12 square 4cm pots in linked arrays of 12. I plan to use these, and put
each set of 12 into a plastic bag and put them on a windowsill. Leave until
germination and the plants seem OK. Just put one or two seed in each small
pot. Then cut up into individual pots and plant out in the post once the
seedlings look 'ready'.

Does the above seem OK?

Slainte,

Jim
