Although spring is around the corner, my winter sowing continues. I wasn't sure if I was going to add more containers since this was the first season that I've tried this method, but I saw sprouts from my first containers and decided to move on. Seeing those little sprouts of green was just the motivations that I needed. I have 30 containers sowed. Here's the status:
Germinated:
Sunflowers - Lemon Queen
Sunflowers - Velvet Queen
Dill - Long Island Mammoth
Dahlias
Petunias - Mixed
Sowed but no germination:

Snap Dragons - Mixed
Calendula - Mixed
Anyone else winter sowing? How are things going for you? See Part I of my winter sowing endeavor here.
You really have a nice variety. Some perenials need the cold to actually sprout but all those annuals and veggies should be happy in the containers. What kind of containers did you plant the new ones in?
ReplyDeleteI used containers that I saved from the salad bar for everything except the sunflowers. I used gallon & half gallon jugs for those. The sunflowers that I sowed initially all germinated in those containers, so I continued using them.
DeleteI am winter sowing too but the method is seriously slow.
