This Seed Starting Moments series is about the “whys and some of the hows” of my seed starting story.
My #1 tip: Keep it Simple and Stay out of Rabbit Holes created by so much Internet noise
When to Start your Annual Seeds
• Identify if your seeds are cool-season hardy annuals or warm-season tender annuals
• Cool Season: plant when outdoor nighttime temps are 60F or lower for 2 weeks
• Warm Season: plant when outdoor nighttime temps are above 60F for 2 weeks
• Count back the number of weeks from that period that you need to grow a transplant, varies
• Don’t feel rushed or behind, just pick up where you are in the season

So for both cool and warm season annuals you plant at 60 degrees at night??
I'm trying to figure out how winter sowing works with the frost date counting. For example, people online have been planting their poppies in January and their milkweed in February in milk jugs. However, my seed packs say to plant in March/April. Which is right? I know things like milkweed need stratification.
Thank you Lisa!
