I think so? If Emily’s planting now in 7, I feel like I did the right thing this weekend. Though I didn’t germ test them before planting, and they showed a little bit of hull damage but otherwise intact.

I would have expected overwintering lentils wasn’t possible here but for [this post](https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/lentils/1023/8) which made me think I should give it a go. Our winters are a good deal tougher but we’ll see what happens
