Sling them on top of some seed compost, don't cover at all, tie them up in a poly bag. Never failed for me.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I read as far as this got last night, got confused (my seeds came without instructions) and have sown half covered and half not, just to be on the safe side.  :nowink:

No idea how many ended up in the little tray - the seeds are like dust and my kitchen light is a little dim.....

..

They are, aren't they, which is why I was wondering how someone managed to sow 12 of them!

Just been to check mine.

Ooh I am still waiting for mine - sowed on Sunday but am desperate for stuff to starts germinating! Leeks to be planted this weekend! I have followed your advice about cat litter trays and have bought and pierced one all ready (the hot skewer tip worked a treat despite my scepticism)

Have tried again! Covered the seed with a plastic lid and kept them in the utility until they sprout!

And I managed to count them again too ;)
Don't they pong! And I have a stinky cold! :D

Update! :D

I may be inundated with celeriac this year!

Have just been out to the greenhouse in the bitterly cold wind and the original planting in february are now poking through! :happy:

However, the ones I sowed on 5 March (indoors in the utility) haven't peeped yet!

Ok I am feeling better that the ones I sowed on the 3rd haven't come up yet. ( I have done some uncovered ones yesterday to make sure)
