Here at SimplySeed we have been sowing a few of the slower growing varieties to get us started, we thought given that you are all budding growers you'd be interested to follow a few of the in's and out's.
Now we don't encourage everyone to sow at the same time as ourselves, mainly because we have some pretty impressive germination factilities that allows us to bring plants on in optimum conditions, enabling us to get an early sowing in, but we also have fully heated greenhouses for growing on afterwards.
These pictures show a 'corner' of the germination room with lit shelving that we use for the more difficult varieties. It's not all like this, easier items are stacked tray on tray then moved straight out to the greenhouses just as they are showing. Fully loaded we can hold the best part of 500,000 plants in the room if needed.
All these seeds are from the same batches you will receive in our packets. We'll also be following some of these items in later posts as we grow them onto maturity.

Remember if you are going to sow these items - Geraniums and Chillies are not hardy, you'll need to provide good frost protection.
