I have some seeds from globe thistles and a few others and was
wondering when i need to get them under way, what type of soil and
temperatures.
anyone know?

My thistles and teasle seem to prefer to grow where they decide to self
seed and not where I plant them and fuss over them. However I did sow
originals into open ground. My soil is quite poor and sandy. It is
both anoying and rewarding to grow plants that seem to thrive when left
to their own devices. So get the first ones going and then
leave them alone. Foxgloves I find are another good self seeder
