More seeds for the greenhouse in modules

Although the temperatures have significantly dropped since the February 'heatwave' I think it's safe to plant both Chard and nasturtium seeds in compost in modules and hope they'll germinate in the greenhouse satisfactorily.

The tomato seeds in the propagator germinated within a week (not so the chillis but I think they generally take a fortnight anyway) so had to be moved to a spot with more even, less one-directional light. Plugged in to the conservatory socket in the corner looks like it should work OK and hopefully it won't be necessary to make any further sowings.

The sweet pea seeds are 'chitting' in a sealed plastic container on damp kitchen towel (as advised on the T&M website) on the front room window sill. Once they've sprouted I'll plant them in trainer modules and try to keep them in reasonable warmth for a while.
