No, only wild carrot should go in the freezer and the Fridge for seeds that need prechilling. You can find all the information on my website and in my handbooks if you would prefer a list of what seeds I chill x
No not really they last for ages, just make sure you pick just opened flowers so they haven’t been pollinated (see my Cosmos video for that) and at least 4 hours in a bucket of cool water before arranging. The seed pods also add interest to arrangements. Quick link to the harvesting Cosmos video to explore pollination x th-cam.com/video/_Zh30xZywdU/w-d-xo.html
Some I do, there is a video on my Autumn Jump Starter 2023 growalong Page it’s called ‘To chill or not to chill’ zoewoodwardgardening.com zoewoodwardgardening.com/2023/08/31/autumn-jump-starter-2023/

Hello ! Thank you for all great advice 😊.
Do I pinch my scabiosa seedlings ?!
Thank you so much. No to pinching out Scabious x
Zone 6b can I direct sow them?
They can be a bit delicate, I would transplant in plugs x
Is there any special handling required to extend vase life?
