seed soaking?

Hello, I am really new to gardening with seeds.
I thought you just planted them in the ground and
that is that. lol
So this is going to be a little lengthy.
I have been reading alot on this site and there is
soooo much more to it than I ever dreamed.
Hubby just plants his marigold seeds everywhere
and some plants that have been given to us.
Now that he is retired and hanging around the house
and yard, I decided I wanted to give it a try.
Several people have helped me with getting the area
ready, in what needs to be done.

My question is this. I have bought alot of seeds,
and reading this section, you talk about soaking them.
Can you soak all seeds?

These are the seeds I have.
Nicotiana alata sensation white,
I have 4 different Aquilegia, formosa, blue bonnets,
little lanterns and mini star.
4 different Penstemon, tubaeflorus, whippleanus,
hirsutus, and grandiforus.
I also have sweet pea royal reds

Would appreciate any info you can give me.

No, you do not need to soak all seeds.

The annual seeds can be planted outside now.

The Aquilegia (Columbine) perennials will need chilling
in the fridge for some time.

I suggest you Google for Tom Clothier web site, which is
a great site for seed germination information.

Surely the seed packets give you pertinent directions?

Have fun!

thanks so much,

Connie
