To water, or not to water
Hi Guys,
I've planted some flower seeds (which I can't spell but sounds like this...mes mer ran thums 
) followed the instructions on the pack and put them in my greenhouse but it didn't mention watering them. Having just watched Monty planting flower bulbs, he said the flowers need water to germinate...is this all flowers, should I water mine?
PS I covered them with a layer of vermiculite stuff, please excuse my ignorence.

Gently soak the tray in a tray of water until the compost changes colour.
All seeds need water to germinate.
Don't over water, spray or soak again when compost seems a little dry
Thank you Matty2! Its a nightmare being a novice when they only give you half the instructions....or is it just me
Your best bet is put the tray into a tray of water where the compost will soak the water up & drawing the seeds down, remove the tray from the tray of water after 20-30 minutes & put the tray on a window cill or in a greenhouse
Thats the one Verdun!! Love them and I know they thrive in dry soil...thank goodness
Hi Hollie hock, they are in the house at the mo. on the floor in front of a window, they are sharing a plastic tray with sweetpea?
