just sowd the seeds in little pots iv placd on kitchen windowsill do i need to clene fill over tham

[bigben]

I grew some last year without anything over them. Often the packet suggest a propagator but many on the site will say a plastic bag does the same job and is cheaper. B & Q were selling them cheap recently so I bought a couple of them but they dont seem to make much difference to my chilli plants - those with nothing over them came up anyway.

do i need put strat on the window sill or sumwer dark for naw

[richyrich7]

They need warmth more than light for a start, put them on the windowsill once they have broken the surface of the soil.
Put a bit of kitchen foil behind them to bounce the light back on to them, it helps stop them go leggy.
 Take them out of the window if it's a cold night.

[Paul Plots]

A cling-film cover or clear plastic bag cover is mostly to stop them drying out too fast.

It helps keep the moisture in.

Keep them warm (in the light or the dark..seeds do not need light to germinate).

As soon as they are up (keep checking) move them somewhere light and keep them warm too.

Good luck!!

Most of those do not like being inside where it's too warm.

In my opinion you're rather with the sweetcorn, what are you going to do with it for the next couple of months before you can even start to think about putting it outside?

Do you realise how tall it can  grow in two months and what size pots it will need to stop it going pot bound?
