I live in zone 8b, but yes, I do plant "seeds" so I don't have to go out and
spend money on bedding plants which melt in the heat of Texas. I plant seeds
of:

allysum
viola (sorbet series does best for me)
snapdragons
evening scented stock
bluebonnets
larkspur
poppies
cleome

I don't know if any of these would be good in your zone.

Does any one plant hardy annuals in the fall so they will have a head start
in the spring? What is the procedure for this?
Thanks in advance.
