I live in Iowa and want to know if it is a good idea or a bad idea to sow seeds in my raised beds on top of the soil right now? Our temps are in the mid to upper 40's in the daytime. I am hoping to get a jump on spring seed sowing so I get earlier plant. These seeds include coneflower, daylily, Columbine, Delphenium, Allium, among others.
