I never bought of freezer tape, but it is tough. I'm interested in that freezer container. What is that? You plant stuff in sealed freezer containers & leave outdid for winter? What & how? I'm a dummy, lol

Hi Donna,

Wintersowing is easy and once you give it a try, you'll probably do it every year. The container in my picture is a used milk jug. There are lots of things you can use as containers for wintersowing. There are some good and easy instructions out there, let me see what I can find and I'll post it her for you.

Thanks Christine. I never heard of it. Have no idea what seeds to plant or how to do it or take care of it after it is done. Yes, please post what you can find about this, sounds most interesting!

Here you go, Donna. I'm excited for you! I just know you will have fun trying this method of seed sowing.

This is one of my favorite site for info on wintersowing, especially for beginners:

And to sweeten the deal, they offer free seeds!

Thanks guys! Gonna check those out right now. Can't do much else right now anyway. Went out about 8:45 PM to feed the cat last Sunday night, tripped & fell on the carport, broke my left wrist. Spent most of the night in ER, they splinted me & went to my family doctor Monday and they cast my wrist. Lucky it was a clean break, no displacement! I'm fine, went back to work Wednesday. My patients are great, they are very understanding that it takes me a little longer to clean their teeth or work on their braces. We get it done.

Ouch! Glad it was a clean break and will heal up like new for you.

But, like you say, you can take the time to check out some info on wintersowing. I see that you are in the same zone 7b as I am. I like to wait until later in the winter to do my 'winter sowing' since we never know if we might have a warm spell and then another cold snap, again and again! So you have time to get everything together, start saving some milk jugs or other containers.

Will do! Thanks!
