January - 2 Packets of Seeds but Nowhere to Grow Them

Just a recap. My to do list for January is to plant Sweet Pea and Snapdragon seeds. I've bought two packs of Sweet Pea seeds but have nowhere to grow them and no Snapdragon seeds.

I do however have an unhealthy habit of browsing eBay and Amazon whenever I want something. You can learn a lot by typing propagator into these sites. Mainly that there's loads of different types! As with most families space is at a premium so when I saw you could get propagators to go on the windowsill I was thrilled. I was also bamboozled by whether I needed a heated one or self watering one or what. So I stopped browsing and went in search of Snapdragon seeds instead. These were much more straightforward and also solved the propagator problem.

When searching for Snapdragon seeds one of the first sites that came up was Unwins. I'd heard of them from garden centres etc. in the past. They also had a Windowsill Propagator Starter Kit that was reasonably priced. It had the actual propagator, seed modules, compost, plastic markers for labels and a pen to write on these. So everything I needed. I figured our house wasn't too cold so why did it need heating so thought I'd try this seemingly simple solution.It was duly ordered.
