I often wonder why more people dont do this.

^I so agree with this. Seeds are cheap. Test seeding a month early if just a small six-pack
cell. 2-3 seeds per cell. Not only are you testing the soil you will eventually be using, but
a process test and method is invaluable for education. Well ahead of your 'expert' suggested
seeding time.
My indeterminates last night. (way ready to pot up but not leggy like above)
And a germination test I did last x-mas to test the soil and my own saved seed.
