I like to start in october but thats because of the quantities I do and my limitations. The main thing to remember is that with the wacky weather you need to watch the moisture levels of the seedbeds closer than someone that is snowed in for months. we get a lot of wind and warm days that cause the soil to dry out faster than the frozen tundra of the north.
I made seed flats last year that I really like using 1 X 4 lumber and screening in the bottom to keep the soil from all falling out. I like to hit home depot's miscuts and bad lumber cart. They usually have some sort of lumber I can always use for 50 cents ant its enough to make one box plus screen. Some say I am cheep but I prefer the term frugal. I have added a pic of the boxes I made last fall. I plan to build a few more this month to do more seeds. I am no expert at the winter sowing. I forget who said they had lots of success with winter sowing. I think they were in a zone close to us and delt with lots of similar issues. I am going to move us to a new page and we can start up with winter sowing discussions so we can do it ourselves. I think it was read it, do it teach it or something in that area.
