Sowed 20 cells worth and popped them in the heated propagator this week.  Another 20 to go in soon and that's me done (hopefully).  :)

Looks like I need to put some additional heat in overnight then. Thanks DD

Have 120 plants growing nicely. Can make that 130+ as the heritage seeds DD sent have started germinating. Minimum nighttime temp of 7 degrees but have had bottom heat set at 10 so all is good.
Included a pic of one of the early sowing with the rest in the background and the second sowing on the heated mat.

Put 20 Tom seeds in last night and some sweet peppers
All in unheated greenhouse (but have got bubble wrap up)
Just have to see how they go :(

Seed will need far higher temperatures than we're getting at the moment. Established plants need 10C. Bubblewrap will only keep the heat in for so long. The temperature will eventually drop to near the outside temperature.

Why not bring the seeds into the house to germinate and hope that it warms up outside in the interim?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
