It is very annoying.

A lot of seeds are temperature sensitive, whilst most people realise
that seeds wont germinate if they are to cold, the same goes if they
are to hot, and all seeds have differeny temp. ranges.

Much easier for me. *I don't know when they are supposed to appear, so I
just wait and not worry)

Not sure what I would do if they didn't appear at all)


It's a little too early to worry yet, seeds I have given up on i.e.
Basil, is now germinating nicely.
