first sowing

I started some seed from my packets saved in the fridge, yesterday. Mostly stuff that prefers the cold. Marigold to get an early start. (Tomatoes and celosia will be next).
One jug and bottle have lettuce seed, the others here are all milkweed- I'm trying winter sowing for them.
I don't have much common milkweed seed left- the rest I will try to start indoors next time. (Last year my attempt to grow these from seed did nothing).
All the other seed of the day- dill, parsley, leeks, chervil, arugula, cilantro, marigolds- and a few milkweed and lettuce just in case- I started in trays of sterile soil-less mix, on top of the fridge in re-purposed plastic boxes, as usual.
