I have some hardy kiwi seeds that I have not planted. What is the best way to get them started? I think i will make a bed then plant the seeds to overwinter in ground. Would starting them in a nursery work better? I guess I have enough to try both.

Thanks for any input

I haven't done hardy kiwi seeds yet, but I've started quite a few other perennials from seed outdoors, and I really like it and have had a lot better success with it so far, probably because the plants don't have to depend on me to survive.

It wouldn't hurt to try both though, just as a backup in case one doesn't make it for some reason.

Good luck, would love to hear how it turns out!
