@admmad, your question is exactly what I was debating on. I started a few seeds inside and was going to start a few outside. Which then resulted in the questions. Starting the seed inside, they will not be subject to the cold. Would they then not make it the first winter here in the garden. On the other hand, planting outside, would they have any chance of surviving the winter. Does the environment the seed is grown play any role in surviving the winter?
Of course I realize no guarantee in terms of survival of a seedling. I just didn't know what factors, if any, I should take into consideration in terms of cold hardiness being that the seeds came from a warmer climate.
