Betty,
> I do not want my seed to sprout this fall.
Do you hold over seeds one year to the next? If so, how do you prevent some
from germinating in the fall? I'll finish planting my seeds today and I
don't expect any seeds from this year to sprout before spring, but I have
around 30 seedlings up in the pots from the previous two years. I guess I
don't mind really, but I do tote them in out during the winter months to
protect them when the temperatures are forecasted to get too low if they
come up in the pots. Some are in the ground so they will be on their own.
Those fall germinations in the ground haven't fared well in the past.
