I would classify my style as a plunker..I know what I like when I see it but don't always know how to put it together. Last year was my third year of wintersowing in milk jugs. I got carried away and finally stopped at 83 which really isn't that many compared to what some other gardeners wintersow. I'm only allowed foundation type flowerbeds, so I have limited space. When it came time to plant out,;I became so overwhelmed and just Plunked/planted them where I could find a bare spot. I gave half of what I wintersowed away to gardeners that rent garden plots in our Sr. Citizens community. They have a table that is just for plant donations, and when I unloaded all those plants, one lady came over with her wheelbarrow and took most of them. The next day I went back with more and when I pulled up and gardeners saw me putting plants on the donation table, you have never seen Senior Citizens move so fast! It was fun to watch. This year(2012)I only wintersowed 16 gal. milk jugs, but did some seed starting in 4 in. pots to take to plant swap.

Because of my plunking actions, I will be doing some major transplanting and attempts to organize my flowerbeds better in the Fall. Too many plants that have lots of foliage and it looks like hodgepodge.It is fun to see different new colors popping out every few days. I am organized in my mind but not physically and my ADD doesn't help. I have a tendency to get side-tracked easily and not complete projects in a timely manner.
