Have a crazy question: I don’t recall if it was you, or maybe other FReepers on this thread, but someone posted within the past year about sowing seeds indoors, to get a jump-start on spring planting. IIRC, the post wasn’t about actually starting plants indoors, but rather putting the seeds in a dry growing medium and just leaving them there over the winter. Does that ring any bells? If so, can you (or whoever) re-post the “how-to”?
Many thanks in advance — AFB-XYZ
Try a search on YouTube on “winter sowing”.
Apparently some seeds (probably mostly perennials) can be sown in protective containers (modified plastic jugs for instance) and left outdoors over winter to stratify (scarify) the seeds.
