Onerous!!! as if I'd do such a thing to you.
I read last week that parsley doesn't germinate in the heat when its over 22C so I'm going to wait for the end of the week when its forecast to be a bit cooler.

The chap who wrote (a small business plant grower) said he was going to start his in the bathroom!
I think fridge would be too cold, maybe your coolest room in the house?

Danny, I found that it crops up when you edit someone else's post, i.e. if you only want to mention a particular sentence, not the whole post, so delete the irrelevant bits. Does that make any sense?
