Can I direct sow the following now?

sunflower
aster powder puff
dill
amaranthus mixed
baby's breath
poppy mixed
amaranthus tall burgundy
zinnia elegans
impatiens mix
aster red burst
zinnia envy

I looked at the weather for the whole week and the lowest temp we'll get is 42F. I was thinking that the seeds might now have germinated within that 7 days especially the low 42F is on Saturday.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Neil

Yes you can. In fact, most of what you listed can be winter-sown.
