How long have they been on the windowsill? If it's longer than two or three weeks then it's possible the seeds are dormant, although usually at least some would have germinated by then. Another possibility is that they are not viable (something wrong with them). If it's simply seed dormancy, then they will germinate more quickly if they are damp chilled (stratified) in the fridge or outdoors. If not stratified they can take weeks or months to germinate but, as I mentioned, usually at least some will germinate within a couple of weeks or so. They do not need light to germinate, is it possible they are getting too hot or too dried out?
