what am I doing wrong?


Hello everyone,
I am new to this seed starting business and I have been learning a lot from
you guys.  Right now I have 13 little newspaper pots filled with a growing
medium and seeds I planted two weeks ago.  So far I have been able to
germinate only one species, malva sylvestris.  The growing medium I am
using is a mixture of vermiculite, perlite and an organic potting soil
containing worm castings, compost, and some other things I can't remember
right now.  I am keeping the tray holding the pots on top of the
refrigerator, where it is warm.  The refrigerator is close to a window so a
lot of light comes through.  I keep the soil consistently moist but nothing
seems to be really happening.  Is there something wrong with my growing
medium or what?  Any advice you can give a newcomer would be greatly
appreciated.
