Windowsill works for me too Alison. However, it's what you do with them afterwards that matters. Toms will germinate on a windowsill in mid-winter - but they won't get the best conditions for growth on a windowsill in the short days of winter. They need a longer day length than you can give them then. Even in a heated greenhouse the days are short. Germination is only half the battle.
