I'm winter sowing my first batch of rock gardens plants. I couldn't resist the temptation of ordering seeds and am amazed by the diversity of germination techniques required to get them started. Now I have snow standing outdoors ,but plenty to be achieved inside. As soon as I get some germination news, I'll post my first batch of seedlings and also the first bed at the bare soil stage. If gardening is about patience then rock gardening is its epitome!
