The thread "Time to think about wintersowing" in
Winter Sowing forum
This sudden cold snap in the weather motivated me to sow a few more jugs of wintersown seeds yesterday. I did one jug each of
gaillardia Goblin
sempervivum
helenium autumnale
agastache purple pygmy
lobelia cardinalis
In January I had done only 4 jugs
corydalis lutea
Joe Pye
penstemon smallii
rudbeckia hirta
The gaillardia, corydalis, and semps were new commercial seeds. All the rest were old seeds which I either harvested from my yard or got in trade. Some were very old (the penstemon was from 2007 but still smelled like dirty feet, the agastache 2008...). So my wintersowing this year really is a leap of faith in terms of weird weather and old seeds. I might not have any germinate this year at all, but they weren't serving any purpose in my seed box. Time will tell.
