Sometimes.... but sometimes we dont get a lot of snow. Many of the weeds I have here is Cut Leaf Teasel, Golden Rod, Queen Ann's Lace, amongst others. With them being taller plants, the seeds dont always fall off right away.

>>Now, what do you DO with all those containers of seeds?

Much of my WS grown seeds actually are going behind my home, on state owned property .. .my neighbor and I are maintaining it to help keep the weeds from taking over.

here is one image taken over the summer... you can see all the tall weeds ... that is looking south... an area i do not take care of.

>>And, if the plants are already blooming by the time you plant them out, do they succeed? None of the plants I have let get that far along in indoor culture have done anything!!!

No -- they seem to do fine. As long as they get water .... when i was gone for most the summer, my son was watering all the ones i did not get in the grounds. There is only one left... i thought it was a dud [Strawberry Fields, i think it's called] and it currently has a flower. BUt i will most likely just leave it, as it is an annual.

I'll have to see if i can locate an image of some of my stragglers from this summer....
