This is my 4th year wintersowing, and I'm addicted. I'm doing fewer and fewer indoors, under lights each year- after battling damp off and fungus gnats the last couple of years, I'm about to just devote my light set up to Coleus and Begonias and forget the seeds inside altogether. In the past I've mostly wintersown perennials, and it is the easiest way I've found to start them. Last year I started doing more annuals, including a lot of tender ones that I waited till March to sow, with great success. Now I've got 100 jugs sown, mostly perennials and some hardy annuals, and the next wave is about to begin- told ya I was addicted, LOL! Here's the list so far:
