We have Germination!

My first seeds of the year are starting to Germinate, I've planted a load of different tomato varieties, some peas for an early crop and also a load of flower seeds with packing out my sparse borders in mind. The veggie seeds have pretty much all germinated but I've had varying results with the flower ones. For example I sowed a whole packet of Lavender seeds and none of them have as of yet made an appearance. I also planted a few older packets that I've received free over the last couple of years. As they're a bit old it hasn't been too much of a surprise that they haven't come on but I'm disappointed about the Lavender. I'll leave them in the window for a few more weeks yet before I give up though.
