    I shall try this with Busy Lizzies next year - I have had two failed years with them not even germinating!! Everything else grows fine.. I end up buying busy lizzie plugs.

    Courgettes I find very easy. I just sowed this years batch last week and they are already on the way through. They are in my unheated greenhouse. I shan't plant them out till late May.

    Just found some cornflower seeds that I'd forgotten I'd got so I've just planted them. Fingers crossed - will let you know how I get on!

    Mine are heading for the compost heap and I shall try again following some tips in this thread!

    Good luck with yours (although you probably won't need it...:o )
