These seeds crave the authentic April experience. Stick them in the ground. Give them wind. Give them rain. Real flowers appreciate a little mud between their toes and a sky without a roof.
Real gardeners trust the soil, not plastic trays. Besides, your windowsill belongs to your cat, not to plastic pots.
Quick note: If your garden still sees snow in April, don’t worry. Hardy seeds like poppies, bachelor’s buttons, and sweet peas can handle cool soil, while warm-season flowers can wait until the weather settles.
