Do you do this outdoors too or does it seem nuts to you, Worth?

Lisa this will be the first time I have ever done it I wont lie to anyone.
I have read till I am blue in the face about weather planting dates and lord only knows what.
I have a pile of seeds I bought last spring and nothing will grow with them sitting in the house.
Most of the stuff I do is against the rules but I seem to have fantastic luck.
I do know the end of October is coming up and that is the shut off date for planting seeds.
I waited due to my hunch about this years weather.
I wanted the first good cool front to come through.
What have I got to lose.
