I'm confused though. Which ones are you going to try by wintersowing? Annual poppies, orientals? And have you wintersown them yet? I don't mean direct sowing, but rather wintersown in containers

Clother and other sites say they do need light to germinate. I just sprinkle them onto the surface of the milk jug soil.
