When planting seeds, can I still plant in somewhat hot and windy weather?

With seeds, should I wait or can you plant in any type of weather? I know with plants and cuttings it should be cloudy and not windy, but does this still apply to seeds? Please help!

they will dry out more quickly so need more watering – can you protect them at all – ensure the soil isn’t going to blow away? How windy? Don’t suppose you want to germinate them inside and then plant them out? Either way, unless they are tiny like carrot seeds (which may blow away) they should survive unless it is gale force winds if you keep them from drying out too much. Good Luck
Some small seeds are meant to germinate on the surface and would probably sprout in a neighbors garden downwind. Even if the seeds need covering the wind will dry things out quickly so keep them watered. RScott
I would say no……..put the seeds ,. plant food and bug stoppers in ground and water the row or holes before covering…….and then water all of surface…….do not flood. Have fun and good eating…….If you have to much …….you know who to call.:)
