Anyone started winter sowing yet?

Awesome TG!

I have some flowering nicotina up! Just planted some Wizard Mix Coleus seeds too, hehe. This is exciting!
Most all of my clematis babies died though. :-(

Yeah, it's funny how excited I get over some little seedlings! :) Sorry your clematis didn't make it!

Well, I didnt plant ALL of the seeds- so were gonna try again later- growing them outside might give them a better start. I don't think I have ever had a clematis make it to the blooming stage!
This might even be my first year growing them- I forget, hehe.

Next time I will buy a grow light- that should help alot- right?

I just started my winter sowing, I've never done it before, but you all seem to swear by it, if anything comes up the trick will be (for me) keeping them going! I hope its successfull, because last year my kitchen was full of plants! I've started Tomatoe's,Hot peppers,Black Berry Lily,a mystery pea vine,hosta,Rose of Sharon, Cleome (I hope --- its my favorite flower), Okra, ect.

crimsontsavo, I hope so too, last year only 1 plant came up, then I learned from this website that they like to be in the cold 1st, wish me luck! Jill
