I dont usually start plants from seeds,but this year I m going to try some.

not too many,we dont have much space to put them by a window

the little seed skaker worked good,I never used one before

yet another surprise for the wife to come home to,,,oh well ,,after 35 years of being married to a nut,,she knows to expect the unexpected

What ya trying to grow?

I know how well those round seeders work. Had to plant hundreds of seeds with them for years(still do). All the kohl crops for selling at the greenhouse and transplanting were planted with one of those. There has to be about 10 around here, for a while they came with every years seed order.

I also planted hundreds of vine crop seeds with a TWISER each year.

I used to start my tomato plants in a dish in front of a window. I would put the small seeds in a small dish, moisten them with some water, and stretch Saran Wrap over the perimeter. Once they sprouted, I removed the plastic, and the sprouts became little plants in the dish. Don't let the seed or the roots dry out, they will grow in that dish for weeks. Much easier to transplant this way. Well water works good for this.

I had really good luck last year growing plants in a cold frame that I built.
