I've just got my second packet of wild flower seed through. 
The first packet I sowed in a 'plug' tray but only half a dozen germinated and I am not even sure if these are weed seeds that somehow got into compost.
The second packet is much bigger (20 grammes) and lots of black shiney seeds which other didn't have. I will sow these in a plug tray once I have transplanted the few that have germinated previously.
These seeds seem bigger so instead of broadcasting over the surface of the tray I will put a pinch in a dimple formed in each plug and cover with a tiny amount of compost. Hopefully this will give me better germination.
As these are wild flowers I think I may keep the plug tray outdoors rather than in the greenhouse.
