Ha...I started doing that about 5 years ago and I
remember folks saying that was verboten. (sp. ?) If
George does it, too, it's gotta be OK. :-) I never
stopped freezing my iris and daylily seeds...then I
plant in side in covered flats in the basement and
bring up around end of March to first floor and
sunlight - that way everyone gets to step, stumble on
them and the dogs can bark at them,etc. ;-)
After sunny time inside, I either plant outside at the
end of May or POT (where is Arnold K. ?) if they are
not large enough for my liking (my least fav. way to
play with dirt) and put the no-shows down in the
basement to check if I remember.
One year, two hosta seedlings got away from me and
tried to take over the basement. Husband said, "What
the h... is that?" Planted them outside and they
promptly bit the dust - they were just cellar hostas I
guess.
Greenhouse is in the works but we are doing it
ourselves so this may take two years (we have snow on
the ground 8 mos. of the year).
Ellen - 92 F degrees and can only guess about 99%
humidity. Still planted daylilies today and watered
Siberians...
