Hi ,don't worry there are a lot you can sow, even if you don't plant some (not the annuals) until Fall! What you can plant now are:

Annuals;Petunias,4 o'clocks,sunflowers.......

Stephanie,
I'd been wondering where you were. Glad you are back.

Think in terms of two categories: seeds that need cold stratification and those that don't. If you want to try those that require CS, look them up on Tom Clothier's database to help you guess whether you have enough cold weather left to meet their needs.

Alternately, there is a great FAQ on Spring and Summer sowing which includes a list of things, perennial and annual, that don't need CS.

Anything you sow between now and May 1 counts in Ron's container count as winter sowing. After that, it's Spring or Summer sowing.

Good to see you 'round!

Thanks so much gals!
I am kicking myself for not checking the FAQ's first, I found exactly what I was looking for just as you said.
I am not going to try any cold strats this year. Sadly, I just went out and purchased $100 worth of perennials to fill my first lasagna bed which I put in place last summer. I had many questions about what that black plastic in my yard was for. It did look a little scary. hehe When I told them my plans (lasagna gardening and wintersowing), some got wide-eyed thinking I was nuts and some were like, "oh cool! I want to try that too!" It has paid off. The bed is full and beautiful and now I just have to save the babies from frost and watch them grow! So, now I'm going to sow some annuals and fill some pots with pretty flowers for the summer. Thanks for the encouragement and the warm welcome back. Life has definitely happened but my gardening bug is kicking in regardless. Besides, it is the best therapy I can think of and relatively cheap when compared to a shrink's prices! LOL!

LOL! I have to laugh...but not at you!

I was in the same circumstance between last fall and March 11! Since Mar. 11 I have sown 56 containers LOL! I had only sown 9 containers up until that point which I planned to haul back to Nebraska :D

Stephanie, I can relate to this - "limbo location" is a lousy place to be. But it sounds like your limbo has ended for awhile; here's the good news:

Now: perennials that don't need cold strat; annuals
Spring: Annuals, heat lovers (like basil)
Summer: Fast-blooming annuals, some perennials
Fall: What I call "fussy" germinators - stuff that needs warm-cold-warm to break dormancy

So no matter what time of year it is, you can sow something!

I've just completed sowing 18 milk jugs with annuals this week. It was my first go at it and what fun! I can't wait to see some sprouts.
Thanks to everyone for your kind words of encouragement and advice.
I've just found out a move may be in our near future after all but no worries. I'll just take them with me! 18 is no big deal compared to hundreds I hear about everyone else sowing!!! :-)
