    Were the seeds properly ripe, and were they stored cool and dry through the winter. Thats the most important thing, any doubts might aswell buy a packet, not that expensive.
    Just noticed, UNHEATED propagator in UNHEATED greenhouse, it might get warm during the day but its still cold at night. They really need a steady temp above 15 deg C.
