August? I want snaps in March, waaaaaah!
@KarenHolt welcome! When you say wintersowing and that the rain interfered it sounds like you sowed seed on the open ground? Are you familiar with the winter sowing method that involves putting seeds in soil that is in a covered plastic container, such as a recycled gallon milkjug or soda bottle?
Below is a link to a great description of it. I mostly use it for perennials that need cold treatment to sprout. But this year I'm not sure we will get any cold weather. The problem with using this method for annuals is that they get a late start, and I want early! Our spring can be brutally hot, although some years it can be a pleasant "normal" spring like I was used to where I grew up in western NY. The years when spring is hot calls for plants that had a head start indoors.
