Hi, herbsters--

I have been going through my seed box, thinking about starting different herb seeds under lights, or using the 'Wintersowing' method, or direct sowing in the garden...

And I'm becoming more confused as I go along reading the backs of the different seed packets (in former years I just went out and purchased the plants!)

I am in zone 6a and our last frost date is around April 18.

Is there a timeline you use for your herb seed starts?

Let us know your favorite seeds to germinate. Your least favorite? What you don't bother with. What is good for 'Wintersowing'...?

Do you find using the 'Wintersowing' process helpful? For which seeds?

Are there some seeds that are more difficult to germinate? That require stratification?
Do you direct sow?

Thanks for any tips, tricks, advice you can share. t.
