Montreal's last frost date is approximately the first week of May, and you should start your seeds indoors about a month before that. Soon! They will germinate in about two weeks if you maintain a soil temperature around 70°F. Consider getting a grow light for seed starting if you question whether you have the necessary light for germination.
