     Kitty that is well organised, Great idea to see everyone's seedlings, I'm still behind with seeds, I have some growing but still a lot to do. 

    I love growing from seed, only thing is knowing when you have to many seedsimage

    Will be great getting people's advice and seeing other's seedlings.image

    Looking good hollie, handy having that seed house. I'm growing scabious for the first time, is it an easy grow?  

    Wow nutcutlet image. You've got loads, you must have a proper greenhouse. They look healthy and well established, when did you start sowing?

    Looks like you're using grit/vermiculite.  I considered buying some vermiculite for my no cover seeds, I've never used it before.  Is it beneficial and worth it?  For aubretia and some half hardy annuals.

    I always sow too much stuff Kitty. I even sow seeds from my own plants, those that would divide and give me flowers more quicklyimage

    I've used vermiculite this year, I prefer grit really but it's hard to come by round here, all too big. Grit prevents algae better than anything else for slow germinators. 99% of my stuff is hardy, sown fresh and either germinated last autumn or is germinating now. Some things are in those pots for months and moss/algae can be a problem. The aquilegias were sown at new year in the GH

    I know little about half hardies and tenders. Cosmos germinate easily and someone gave me those seeds. I think aubrieta is easy as well, I have grown that, though there doesn't appear to be any in the garden now. Overtaken by  weeds probablyimage

    The GH is big and provides shelter but isn't heated and the door is always open.
