I see my way as easy!! To me, all the messing around in the frig and
watching seeds in the middle of winter would be hard. <vbg> Guess I just need
winter to recover and plan!
I tried potting seeds inside one year and it was a royal mess, even with
papers to cover everything! Back when I had more space, outdoor cats, and a
green house (sorta) it wasn't such a problem. Oh! I was younger back then too!
I get a good percent of first year blooms when I finish my planting by the
end of TB bloom season. For me this is the end of May. In 2005 some of my
seedlings weren't set until mid-June, and I didn't expect good bloom on these
in the spring of 2006. I was pleased to see I was wrong. I've planted during
a cool spell in early July and didn't get first spring bloom. Maybe it
depends on the year? Or the soaker hoses??
I realize this won't work in colder zones.
Anyone else conducting experiments??
