Ok well I sowed some Gaillardia seeds in my propagator
and I do keep the compost moist and after a few days hey presto! they
are emerging (see this link)

Not bad for my first effort ??


Well you might want to put off sowing too much at the moment because
you'll need to transplant them when they are big enough and the weather
is not so good that you can just put them in an unheated greenhouse etc.
You'll end up having an awful lot of pots to find room for!

I've delayed most of my normal January and February sowing this year I
don't know what others are doing?

I've done my Gaillardia and they seem to be coming along nicely
not sure when to prick them out just yet though.
I've sowed some Petunia but I think the moisture may be a prob with
them ??
It's all good stuff though and a steep learning curve!
