Well...no, it isn't, especially in areas which have cold or wet winters. Autumn-sown open ground seeds usually have far lower germination and poorer survival rates than the same seeds properly stored, then planted in the same place in Spring. Seeds in open ground do better when soil is warming up not cooling down, and when daylength is lengthening not shortening. Aha. Thanks for that Janet, all my hardy perennials seeds are indoors ... and sown just now. But it's a cold frame arrangements. I'm sure I have made, or am about to make, a big boo boo somewhere down the line. Janet. |
