Actually, mine were inside for most of the winter, but you are right that
the winter freeze screwed up my germination rate. I did not know it would
hurt them. Ooops. Live & learn. I just placed them outside again today
to get them hardened off. With luck, the cats won't think it's a new
litter box. :)
Speaking of cats, you know it's spring again when you find feathers, beaks,
and bird feet scattered across the yard each new day. Gross. The
year-round birds seem to outsmart the cats, but the returning migrating
birds are just too slow or dumb.
