I’m about to sow seed of various hardy and semi-hardy bulbs. My usual procedure is to soak the seed for a day before sowing then throw the pots outside until they start to germinate in the spring. Once germination starts I bring them into a cool greenhouse. Works reasonably well. Today it is over 60F in Portland, Oregon and tomorrow, when we get a gully washer of rain, it will be 50 degrees. Does anyone see a point in soaking the seed since it appears Mother Nature is going to soak it for me and provide reasonably warm temperatures to boot? Jan Jeddeloh in balmy Portland, Oregon.
