Honestly I think you have made a fundamental mistake by sowing each seed individually- there is a lot of compost surrounding each seedling which is not good-but I understand why you did it
You would have done better to sow them all in a pot and then prick out when bigger
There is not much you can do to speed them up I'm afraid just patience-but don't get down-hearted-we all learnt by making loads of mistakes
wish i'd done mine in september too but im all new to this gardening since i got my first house so i just went by what the label said. I'll be placing the pots outside the front of my house as that is south and my rear garden is north. any tips on how to prevent any thieves stealing my pots? hopefully that wouldnt happen but you can never be too careful.
i just reread that would i be sprinkling a few petunia seeds in a small pot? i have been watching some videos onh youtube but they contradict what i have read elsewhere.
Here is a bit of a time scale on my daughters website David, but as you can see, it hasn't been updated lately. But these are the ones I said are now your size.

I'm not sure how you can stop theives though.
First the pots-not much you can do other than chain them down -or electrify them
Now the petunias-sprinkle a few seeds across the surface -you will still need to prick them out when they are big enough
insomnia did you get any strawbs off your shop bought one?thanks for all the replies i better get started on planting my pots and sowing my seeds then
