Perennial Herbs Often Need Planting in January


This is a note to many gardeners who seem to have trouble growing some perennials when sown in the Spring. You need to sow many of those seed from late fall to this time of year, January, due to the fact that many of those kinds of seeds need to "winter over" to break dormancy. Some people try using the refrigerator to do this but you will find that you get much better results with nature itself. Also, for some of these seeds you can artifically break the cold treatment requirement by using a powder known as G3 (also known as gibberellic acid)
