My avonias are up as well Stuart,and the oxalis has too.When do you think these succulents should come out of the bags as they are etiolating a bit?

Not sure Ray, mine are under lights and I was intending to leave them there until the sun bucks its socks up, and then get them out into the greenhouse quite quickly.

Re: Seedlings from the 2008 BCSS seed list
I swear Avonias don't germinate, the seeds just turn green in contact with water! Avonia stems will grow thin and green if you don't give them enough light. They aren't cactus seedlings, they can take direct sun as soon as they germinate and this will give you thick white stems.
