It would be fine for seeds to wait until spring to sprout, I would just hate to be wasting my time planting things now that prefered to be planted when the natural warmth occurred. As spring is so short here (2 weeks some years) I'm never sure when that window will appear.

Without heat most seeds just seem to wait until spring and natural warmth even in a cool greenhouse. Without even a cool greenhouse the only one for here that comes to mind would be garlic chives. Not too inspiring I know.
