Linda, life goes on. You go ahead and plant them and forget about
the weather. My bearded seeds have been in the freezer since August.
I took them out Friday after Thanksgiving and have planted them in
pots outdoors. Eventually, it will get cold and you may regret later
not having planted them. I believe (according to our local
weatherpeople) that this is the last warm week-end of the season.
We shall see.
Re Mike Sutton's fall crosses. I have tried this earlier in the
fall, not December, and have matured pods. BUT, none of the seeds
germinated! I think it can be done, but not this late in the season
and with 33o temps. Mike mentioned, that is frosty weather that can
severely damage the pod.
