Setting seeds for next year

14 years ago

Dumb question here from a newbie to gardening......can I scatter seeds now for next year's growth....the seeds that

would naturally scatter themselves, I mean.

Thanks for your replies!

Of course, you can. Consider yourself helping Ma Nature.

You can even start some of them in pots that you can watch more carefully, just to be be sure that they get the attention they need.

When mine go to see, I spread the seed and gently tap the earth where they fall. Now I have so much, I need to thin out the herd. :)
