the zinnias shouldn't be any problem at all. They only take 5 to 10 days to sprout. Just put them somewhere you'll remember to keep them moist until they sprout. I've got 4 containers of zinnia in my apartment that I just planted. Because this year I want to make sure the seeds I send out will sprout so from each seedhead I'm taking 3 seeds and trying to sprout them. And only those that sprout are going on the seed exchange list. Do I sound determined?

I also have some columbine sprouting right now after being in the refrigerator for six weeks. And some miniature rose seeds that just came out of the refrigerator where they were for 7 days experiencing their chill period lol.

Although I can't say for sure I would probably wait 6 to 8 weeks before trying to grow the amaryillis. Keeping them in a cool dark place during that time. But that's just me. If the person who sent them to you says that they have already had their rest then I would put them in a pot just slightly larger than the bulb and start growing them.

Isn't it exciting.

I don't know about your other seeds. But someone will.

I would be interested in a list of seeds to refrigerate as well. I'm hoping to start the plants for my new beds in late winter and transplant in the spring. So far I've only found info on random plants here and there. Thanks!

It's in the seed exchange under saving seeds. I think I will reprint it in our new plant propogation area. It's still not an exhaustive list so there is plenty of room to add to it.

I just got a white datura, a friend of mine told me that she planted her's in August last year and they came up and bloomed. I just planted some of my seeds, I will keep you posted.

God gave us memories so we can have roses in the winter.

Thanks Dodge, great idea about the garage. It would also keep my little ones from getting curious about the neat stuff in the fridge.
