Okay, When you pot up plants that will get planted out later do you put them under lights or do you put them in a GH? I'm talking annuals at this point. I know how to do the perennials as they can take more but I want to grow my own annuals next year and want to do it right. This year my ws and grown under lights have stayed very small. Would I Spring Sow them as apposed to Winter Sow? I will say though that the plants I have planted out have done better than the ones in the trays (not the ws) The rainy cloudy weather has not helped but so far very few have died.
When I pot up plants that I've winter sown, they stay outside.
Some annuals I start inside under lights, and some I start using the winter sowing method, although the more tender ones don't get put out in their containers until early spring (see my article on using the winter sowing method to grow annual flowers, http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/959/).
A lot depends on the particular annual, how tender it is, and how long it takes to bloom. The article at the link above should give you a little additional info.
