Cynthia... I've been reading your BYOS thing... sounds like fun.

I'd think any 'wild flower' type flower you shouldnt have a problem with germination.

here are my Cone Flowers from 2007 -- per my notes, i had 5 rows of 20 seeds. so there were 100 seeds in here.
Rudbeckias are another where i'd have good germination.

as for 30-40 seeds per gal... i think it also depends on the seed.

Take Poppies for instance.... you're not going to count them... they are dust.
Some seeds, you'd just take a 'pinch' and sprinkle it.

I guess you just use your best judgment.

It is sort of trial-N-error... but regardless, it's fun and it's fun to watch teh seedlings grow.... and you will be getting more ladies into winter sowing.

Our weather probably is not that different.... Just sow the seeds. stick them outside, and start looking for babies [weather depending] around March/April or so.
