Got me seeds today
In article , "Mark Allison" nomail@please writes: | | My question is, on the packets of most of these seeds, it says sow | December - March. I have a 12x8 greenhouse, but it's unheated.

I fancy sowing them this week. Far too early. Don't even think of sowing seeds for a month yet, and possibly even longer for warm-climate plants. The problem isn't the temperature - it is the light, almost total lack of. Subtropicals etc. are adapted to growing fast once they start, and will not do well if kept warm and half-dark. You can get away with the hardiest of plants because they are adapted to growing slowly - so you plant them outside and they will do that. But it won't work for warm-climate plants.
