Help needed for a new gardener,

I sowed some Geranium, Clematis and some Chilean Glory Vine (CGV) seeds
about 3 weeks ago.

The Geranium are in the kitchen which is quite warm and started to grow
within 3 days (I now have 9 little babies from 21 seeds).

The Clematis and CGV seeds are in the window, in a bedroom which is a bit
cooler (probably between 15C and 18C. Both are in John Innes seed compost,
the Clematis having a light covering of compost and the CGV being on top
as
directed by the packet. Each evening they seem quite dry so I give them
some
water from a plant sprayer to keep them moist.

There is no sign of life yet. Am I being too impatient? Am I doing the
right
thing? I would love to see these growing up trellis round the patio that I
haven't got yet!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Martin


What sort of clematis?
The one overall thing for concern is that you are having to spray/water
every day. This would indicate that the compost is far too dry and the
chances are that the seed is also drying out which is an almost certain way
to bugga things up.
Get the compost reasonably damp and seal the whole lot in a polythene
bag/propagator.
