i asume you have sown seeds.. outside? they will be ok may be slow to appear .. i usually soak mine for a couple of hours before sowing but don`t know if it has any bearing on germination

I have never heard of this!!! Just sow them in compost! i did this last week and they are poking through the compost already!!! I have got them indoors just to keep them warm. In late April I will throw some outside where they are to grow
