I think I started them in February since common Geraniums are included. I owned and operated a commercial greenhouse during the 80's and these plants were sown to sell.

You proved my point when you stated that the seeds germinated where you throw them. No cover on them.

The photo is of my simple coldframe before I planted in it. That is where I sow seeds now. I sowed perennials in it in Oct. 2008 to germinate this spring. The seeds sowed in there are those that require coldness to germinate this spring. I have chicken wire across to keep out animals.
