Hurray!

Of course, my seeds were still encased in the seed pods, which might have made a difference?

Well, I just put some 2001 rose mallow seeds into soil (this was one of the first seed packet I received at my first seed swap - I guess I was holding on to these as a reminder of how I got into the world of hoarding plants & seeds). We'll see if these sprout after all these years.

I also have other older seeds which need to be sown. I think I'll throw these out on the soil and see what comes up (the front bed is bare since foundation plants were removed for leveling).

Woofie, the salpiglossis, schizanthus, & nicotiana you sent me germinated but they may not survive since we are having another warm winter.

I love that pic :-)) Now that IS a dedicated winter sowing! IIRC the jugs are cut in two, seeded and then put back together with tape.

That year I had 69 jugs

When I first started wintersowing I did over 80 jugs the first couple of years. Now I'm down to a dozen or so.

Thank you for all the thumbs up!
