I know what yi mean. Im the same. Really enjoying it too. I invested in some seed compost to see if it made a difference from standard multi purpose compost. Not tried it out yet but am hopin to this weekend
I have just been using multi purpose with vermiculite on top. I seem to have sown alot that seem to take ages to germinate. My aquilegias still havent appeared. Hopin that they will soon though.
Hmmm...we are to get a white out by wednesday Im really hoping the weather warms soon. Im worried that they wont do anything. Nevercrealised that sowing seeds could be sooo dramatic lol.

Mostly the seed site, I know it better, used it for years. Lots of interesting info as well as the germination thing.

Hardy herbaceous, shrubs and trees are what I know about. Veg, half hardy, tender, not a clue. But finding out more by the day on the forum

I use a mix of seed, multi and grit with grit on top. seems to work for the long term germinations that are a lot of mine.

I have one single aquilegia seedling. I'm expecting action soon in a lot more of those pots. The forecast says warmer here in a couple of days.

I'd be surprised if those aquilegias failed you.
