I was looking through Deno's book on germination and noticed his comments about what he calls "Outdoor Treatment." You put the seeds in paper towels and then baggies as usual, but instead of cold stratifying them in the fridge, you put them in an outbuilding, like a shed or garage, and let the temperature fluctuations break the seed's dormancy. I decided to try this with a bunch of seeds that need cold stratification, but I was wondering if anyone had tried this yet and what the results were. It is not clear to me from looking at his book whether this does NOT work with any plant that requires cold stratification.
