Seed Planting Advice? (lemmy.world)

Hi friends! I got some flower seeds as a gift recently, and while they say they should be planted in late May early June, I’m worried about them lacking sun in our weird unseasonal weather! It’s been completely overcast and 50s and raining constantly. I’m sharing the planting with some kids in the neighborhood, so I really don’t want them to fail… is it okay to plant them despite the abysmal conditions? They call for full sun, but I’m honestly not sure when we’ll be getting full sun again and I don’t want to plant them too late.

About those germination conditions: often seeds won't germinate until the good conditions finally arrive. So even sowing in bad conditions is often not so bad. Keep in mind that in nature, seeds often fall at the end of summer just to lie around until next spring.
