Winter sowing is something that I am just discovering. What fun> Is it possible to make it work in Zone 4? Where would I put containers, still dealing with temps in the single digits at night. Any info would be helpful. This sounds like fun, anxious to try it. Thanks
Zone 4 should work just fine... hardy seeds don't care about cold temperatures; when it warms up in spring, they'll sprout, just as if the plant had self-sowed by dropping seeds outside the previous year.
I'd try to find a slightly protected spot, so your containers don't blow around. Avoiding afternoon sun is also good, because your seedlings can cook otherwise on a warm spring day.
