Perfect, thank you so much! It's ridiculous but I live in northern CA so I might try starting some soon anyway

Oh you probably have time. Go for it! If not they may winter over for you too, in a mild climate.

I cant get the hang of the growing season here despite over a decade; I used to grow veggies but that was in a place with snow. I have some annuals that are 8 years old and some things that wither in 3 weeks. Always an adventure.(plus it's my landlord's yard so I'm not gonna spend $$$ amending soil)

The important thing is to have fun! There’s no wrong way to garden.
