Misty~ W/S is wintersowing.. a neat, easy process that grow flowers, plants, etc. from seeds that need cold stratification to germinate. There is a Wintersowing forum here on DG, and the gardeners there are gracious and helpful in encouraging others to try this process. Matter of fact, last year was my first year at W/Sing and I've experienced tremendous success in growing flowers that were a dismal failure for me (here on the prairie). Check out that forum for encouragement to W/Sing. Any questions you have about the process, no matter what question... will be answered. Also check out Trudi's site http://wintersown.org for more info and free seeds to get you started. I will wintersow again this year. Here's my first success at poppies from seed... ;0)
