I think what I did with my seeds by Fall planting was similar to
Winter Sowing so I jumped in, hope I'm not too far off.
Here is a photo that I took today of some of my seeds outside.
They include Yucca, White Oak acorns, Chinkapin Oak acorns,
Hollyhock, Japanese Wisteria, Bur Oak acorns, Persimmon, Redbud,
Dogwood, Thornless-Honeylocust, White Ash, Baldcypress and more I'm sure that aren't coming to the top of my head.

All my seeds are seeds that I collected from local plants this Fall. I usually get my seeds from public places like parks, cemetaries, anyplace I can get to and not be under suspicion.
I've had good success in past years with all of the above with the exception of Yucca, Dogwood and Hollyhock, this is the first year that I'm trying them. My seed-boxes I either made out of lumber, bought from Wal-mart or found in the trash. The ones in the photo on the left are those under-bed clear plastic storage totes from Wal-mart for $3.44 apiece, I have 12 of them scattered around. I re-use them if I can keep the mower guy from hitting them!
