According to my seed software:

10 -16°C, moist soil for germination. Soil temperature not over 30°C.

Yes. In Greece, you should have planted them in november. Put them in the freezer until then.

Thanks for the reply, I did actually plant in October and November, bu want to try spring plantings, as in theory it should work, and the col winter we just had did not have such good results as the previou winter
