    What generally works for me with respect to seed sowing is...sow the seeds into a peat based compost, water just enough to make the compost moist, but not saturated (no need to water again), enclose the pot in a polythene bag, and put somewhere where there won't be any extremes in temperature or direct sunlight. Around 20c is good:blue thumb:

    That's a pity (not that you live in Ramsbottom :heehee: but that you're too young to drive :smile:). I'll ask Zigs whether he can send the GC Time Travel Helicopter for you and the family :snork:

    Are you going to the concert at the festival in September? I hear that it's very good. :)
