Hi, is it possible for seeds not to grow in compost? Planted all sorts about 2-3 weeks ago and nothing has come up. Peas, sunflowers, pansies, peppers, chillies, lavatera, Busy Lizzie. Followed instructions about depth etc, live in the greenhouse, water accordingly and nothing. got compost from bnq (usually use wilkos But were sold out), live in the north east of England. Weather has been warm and then cold again  am I doing something wrong? This is my 2nd year growing things and last year had great success!

Where are they? I had to bring mine in from the greenhouse to get them to germinate x

@earthaearthborn in the greenhouse. I’ve got so many pots that I can’t bring them all inside but I’ve brought the small ones in like peppers, chillies etc
