I prefer fall plantout. Others have had success overwintering in pots with some protection, but my plants do best in the ground.

I'd get them in the ground, too. Of course bakemom and I are a zone colder than you.

I'm in Zone 8, and mine do better in the ground, too.

Sometimes I just do not have a bed ready to put plants in the ground so I sink the pot in my veg beds for the winter. They do just fine. I know I could plant them but then I would need to pot them up in the spring so I can use my veg bed. In the spring I pull the pots out of the ground so I can prepare my veg beds for early veggies. It is usually later before I can dig up lawn for new beds.

This year I have added another holding bed and am working on several other beds so hopefully all my plants will be in the ground before winter,

Thank you all for your comments!
I'm afraid I don't have any seeds to trade this year, but maybe some Columbine, or yarrow. Will have to get going if I plan to WS again.
It was certainly a great feeling last year receiving all the seeds from wonderful people. It was my first winter sowing experience and I enjoyed it.
