Do you have a thermometer so you can check it doesn't get too hot?=, ideally a min/max?

I could try however it's not one base and lid it's one base with 7 mini props with lids.
Tbh it's probably going away now for this year
You're not alone Danny, I sowed some gazania, put them in the dark warm airing cupboard and unfortunately left them too long, they germinated more quickly than I anticipated and they are over an inch high, pure white and spindly. I'm hoping that under the lights they might recover well enough to prick out.
Sowed three kinds of peas today: Hurst Greenshaft, Sugar Ann and Sweet Horizon (mangetout). Also tagetes "Lemon Gem" and nasturtium "Ladybird Rose". I'm already out of space on my conservatory shelves, unless I want to risk dripping water on my propagator!
Pre chitted Telephone peas into guttering.
just some green bush courgettes.
In my "back of the cupboard" search for cinnamon (failed) I found a bag of Coriander seeds and some Blue Breadseed Poppy seeds. Both well past their use by date, even by my mediocre standards.
Having first checked that chooks can eat coriander safely, I scattered both seeds under the Jostaberries and added a jar of old radish seeds for good measure.
I chose the Jostaberry patch because the chooks like to forage there - its near their run.
