    Hello

    is it possible to sow seeds now and overwinter them for flowering next spring and summer?

    and if so can any seed be done? for example a geranium

    many thanks

    I would leave it til the spring - cuttings are fine in the late summer - but seeds will not like the low low light levels even if protected against cold.

    Some seeds may be sown in autumn. Sweet peas for instance, but I found that spring sown ones soon catch up, and it doesn't really extend the season. It gives one some winter interest in the greenhouse though.
