Grr!

I have a bit of work to do learning how to germinate seeds - my attempts have been a real flop. If I try germinating them indoors they grow almost horizontally trying to find some sunshine because the kitchen window is on the south side of the house. If I put them on the north side they have a balcony shading them, plus all the rooms on the north side have carpet and I don’t have suitable trays for water to drain away. If I put them outside, they either don’t grow at all, or they grow a bit and then keel over and die overnight due to the cold (I have some of them under a plastic box and some of them in a polystyrene box). I wonder what the trick is to get both warmth and sunshine in Canberra Spring if I don’t have a greenhouse?
