Who needs to see the ground? Just shove them into snow, they'll be fine.
I still haven't started wintersowing, but this weather (currently 8° F) definitely puts me in the spirit. I spent a long time yesterday going through my seeds, picking out a few to sow under lights and separate out some to wintersow. I spent most of the time searching for a pack of echinacea which I knew I had.
At least I'm starting to gear up. I'll do some containers in a few days.
