I don't have many hanging baskets, but how about Verbena (the trailing kind)?

I said I wasn't going to Spring Sow this year, but I'm probably going to do a bunch of Pansies and some Calceolaria.
I usually WS Pansies, but I didn't this year, thinking I could do without having more. Not.
The Calceolaria I suspect is a warm germinator, so I'm going to Spring Sow some of those too, then bring them indoors as an indoor plant.
I haven't Spring Sowed Snapdragons, but I'm debating whether to Spring Sow more or direct sow another bunch. I WSed a bunch of trailing, ones ("Magic Carpet") and they've been getting trampled on by the cats. I'm thinking of dumping more seed there in the summer, when things around it are grown up and make it inconvenient for the cats to walk in that spot.

I'll be doing some ornamental kale in July but thats it. Maybe some pansies for winter. I need a break.

My most recently sown were sunflowers. The sprouts are maybe a week to two weeks old. I got them out a little later than I had planned.

I'm planning on sowing some pansies, maybe annual asters, and some ornamental cabbage for fall. Does anyone know when I should start them so they'll be in bloom for fall? Maybe now?

I WSed 30 jugs in Jan. then life got in the way. I didn't start sowing again until May 2nd and plan to sow everything that doesn't need stratification... 60 more jugs and counting. Not exactly the way I planned it but spring and summer sowing are just as fun. Who knows, I may even throw some seeds in the fridge and sow them for fall planting.

I've been lurking here for a few days, but since I haven't winter sown anything before, I didn't feel right posting! But, on this questions, I can tell you - just about everything! I only just found garden web last month, and have been trading some, and can't wait to plant all the fun seeds I have. But, it is so late for starting things right now :( So, I am doing a little here and a little there, but trying to save the bulk of my seeds for winter sowing, and starting indoors. But, just today, I have planted lots of marigolds (several different kinds, about halfway around our vegetable garden so far - my husband thinks once they start growing, it will help keep the critters out), and several different kinds of sunflowers. My husband was very leary of me planting sunflowers, as the last ones I planted were several years ago, and were mammoth sunflowers. I made the mistake of planting them along our fence line - not realizing that they would intertwine with our electric fence (as we raise livestock just on the other side of the fence.) It was a real mess! But I finally talked him into giving me another chance :) This time they are smaller (none are supposed to get more than 6' tall), and much more beautiful (lots of reds and oranges.) Okay, so enough rambling - I'll be planting lots of goodies over the next week or so outside!

Is there a list some where that tells which seeds need cold strat and which ones don't..? I stay a little confused about this,and the ones that need warm-cold-warm that will need to be planted in the fall...surely there is somewhere that tells about this.I just don't know where.

moonphase, take a look at Tom Clothier's database. I keep it bookmarked. In addition to cold strat info it gives germination temperatures. Instead of fretting over my WS containers that hadn't sprouted, I compared the database to my climate's temps. It helped me to know it just wasn't time to sprout yet.
