Starting winter growing seed/Veltheimia seed

Mary Sue et al,
I didn't respond to the Veltheimia thread as I came in fairly late
(been
sick again so not regularly downloading email), but given your comments
here now I'll contribute.
I planted all my Veltheimia seeds, including some I harvested from my
own plants back in the summer, in October (mid-autumn), and they all
sprouted pretty much. I do the same as Paul with my seed starting,
except that I mix in some small gravel/grit and sand and other stuff
into the seed-starting mix to make it drain extremely well, and I
sprinkle Turface granules on top of the seeds instead of gravel.
Otherwise, I start almost all my seeds the same way.
