I can't believe that temps are the thing I'm worried about with w/s! Usually we are around 0*, or in the teens this time of year. This year we are hitting 40*! I haven't sown anything yet, this is my first year w/s. I don't know how big of a deal this is. Any suggestions? I'm just concerned the seeds would germ too fast then the sprouts would freeze in two weeks when it gets back to normal temps. But, if I wait too long to w/s will my plants be too far behind where I want them to be come spring? Help!
