I have some Mimulas seeds to sow in the propogator. They say on the
packet I must sow on top of the sifted seed compost and keep out of
direct sunlight.

I seem to recall that last Friday Monty Don used it on some of his
seeds to 'keep out the direct sunlight' Was my recollection right and
should I do that?

Mimulus germinate best when surface sown and not covered.
