These failed. I do not know why.
I have had miserable results with seed sown in July this year. I suspect my mix is the problem - I made it up with a fairly old coir block and some perlite. Perhaps not enough perlite / too wet and heavy.

Trying again with a commercial mix and a seed supplier that I’ve had good results with before.
