well, since this is my first year... I dont know any better.
they are outside in the snow... so i'm assuming they're not gonna do anything for a while... and if it doesnt work, i have more seeds.
I'm doing the "leap of faith" thing and hoping all my seeds sprout.

Wow, Anita, I like the way you've charted your list giving a germination date to fill in. Is that on a personal website? I'm going back to study ours again. Thank you for sharing.

Anita, I just looked through your website and wanted to say that your photography is wonderful. The picture of the black swallowtail should be framed and in a gallary! You've inspired me to go and winter sow more jugs. Already have 53 but my chart now needs work. Thank you for sharing the information in your website. You are collecting invaluable information. What Fun!
How did you plant out your poppies last year?
Deborah♥

Thanks Deb - I love taking pictures and digital photography makes it less expensive. I can take a million pictures and only print the ones that I want. I'm glad that my documentation is helpful. It is helpful to me as I review what I did last year and see what worked and what didn't.

I planted out any sprouts that were beginning to crowd their container. It didn't matter when as they were already aclimatized to the season!

Here's what I've done so far:
Columbine 'Origami Red & White'
Columbine--Barlow mix
Dianthus barbatus (collected from 2006)

Everyone has great lists! I've got 6 measly containers out .......

Here's mine:
http://davesgarden.com/journal/j/sj/Illoquin/2682/

I am still doing perennials, and I'm not sure why. I only wanted annuals (and other long blooming things like tender perennials) this year! I am going to stop soon, maybe 25 more jugs?, and get my annuals going. I think this cold weather has sort of scared me about putting the more tender things out so soon....May 1 is a long way away!

Suzy, I like the way you've got your seed journal categorized by seed type. I'll try that next time if I don't pull my hair out. You'll be able to add pictures to yours when they all bloom and won't that make for a nice catalog!

Yes, I am really looking forward to it -- until I read somewhere that perennials don't usually bloom the first year,,,I believe I will have a very, very, very large nursery bed this year (where I was expecing loads of flowers) :(

The categories are also how I store my seed. Helps to know just what I have because so may things are so new to me!

Suzy

I think it was me who brought up the question of whether our wintersown perennials will bloom this year, have a look at this thread:

http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/691649/

I am afraid that I will also have to have a nursery bed, but when the time comes I will ask about that. I am not sure how to do that.

So in the meantime, I make sure that some of my seed packets say "blooms the first year from seed" or something like that. I know that is probably still not a guarantee, so I am also sowing annuals to fill in. I really wanted a lot of "Snow-in-summer", but I expect that it will not come through for me this year, so I am going to sow white allyssum for that spot.

I just did 11 and a half more gallons today... But my list is on paper so far, just haven't had time to put it on my spread sheet... http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=3198120 the picture was taken at just b4 9 am this morning... you can see all the containers I have done so far, minus the 11 1/2 I just put out there... It was snowing at 6 am when I got up this morning and its still coming down strong...

Nice lists everybody, will post mine when I can get the time...

and here is a pic of my containers somewhere under the drifts. I think I will have to put the ones I did today on the front porch until I dig out. I have couple in the fridge so they don't sprout while I figure it out LOL

What will we do with all our plants? I know I can't possibly use all the plants that might possibly germinate. I am hoping that friends and good neighbours will take pity on me and provide homes for all the orphans. What do you plan to do?

By the way . . . I went outside and found some seed pods on a very brave snapdragon plant that was still blooming at the beginning of January before the cold set in. I winter-sowed those seeds today - and will probably plant the seeds collected from the Gallardia - Burgandy plant tomorrow . . . whatever will I do with them all?

I'm hoping I'll have enough and the neighbors would like some things. I don't see much of my neighbors and it might be fun to have an afternoon plant giveaway.

My neighbors will receive some. Others I might give away on Freecycle. Maybe, when my neighbor has her garage sale this summer, I'll sell some for cheap. :-) Tamara

You know - I was thinking the same thing about the garage sale. I always have plants that I've divided in the spring, or too many seedlings etc. Or maybe a table at the Farmers Market

You and I could go into business since we're neighbors. ;-) Seriously, I'll email you when I am overwhelmed with too many plants (hopefully!) and see if you want any. :-) Tamara

I was going to divide each jug into 5 hunk o seedlings and plant 5 of everything. So what if each of the 5 hunks is made of 20 plants?

Suzy

That's pretty much what I do, Suzy. I figure the stong will survive and then I'll divide them in the coming years and have even more plants :) I also repot some of them to share with my neighbors (special ones for the wonderful couple next door who put up with my barking dogs and milk jugs all over the back yard) and coworkers.

I like to share too...it definitely widens the bar of friendship with the neighbors.

I added a few more containers .... http://www.lakehousecreations.com/wintersown_2007.htm

Anita, did you add sand with your flowering tobacco seeds to keep from thickly sowing? Just wondering what technique you used. I sowed some inside and now I've got a glob of moss-like plants. I really wasted my seeds.
edited for grammar which didn't turn out much better.☻

Cordeledawg, what kind of hosta are you growing? Tamara

As this is my first year starting seeds in earnest, I am doing it much like an experiment. I read that sometimes things sown at the beginning of winter might not take, but had the seeds been planted in late winter, they would have. So, with that in mind, I decided to do sowings of each type of seed 1 month apart. I put 5 seeds in a container (unless they are ridiculously small...then I do a pinch). The first thing I WS was columbine on Jan 17, and I did another container yesterday, February 17. I'll do one more on March 17. What I'm hoping to do is take extensive notes on all the factors contributing to germination such as where the containers were (I have some on my porch [more sun, less precipitation] and some of the side of the house [less sun, more precipitation]), what kind of containers I used (milk jugs, plastic pots in ziploc bags or tupperware), whether or not the length of time did affect the germination rate and success in transplanting. Also, I'm starting some indoors under lights. Eventually I hope to make one of those nice spreadsheets and I'll post it. Does anyone know if Windows Vista can do spreadsheets? Does anyone have a spreadsheet from last year they would like to share? Tamara

So far... a bunch of different columbines, including some leftovers that have been in the fridge since last year... alpine strawberries (everyone wants some starts of these, it seems)... several different violas...
or
But! I just got a bunch more containers and plan to do some serious WSing this afternoon... so I'll have a longer list to post soon!

Cordele, if you take that moss-like glob of seedlings and separate it gently into little clumps, you can probably pot up a bunch of cell packs or little pots with your seedlings (those 5 or 6 oz. plastic cups work fine also, and I think you can get 32 or 26 into a flat for bottom watering... just remember to poke holes in them... a hot skewer works great for that, but be sure you work where there's good ventilation). Check out the tips on clump transplanting here, http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/589725/

Tamara, my seeds are unknown Hosta varieties. They'll just be a surprise to me. I did buy some bare root hostas that come 5 to a green bag at Walmart. They are up and growing. Pearl Lake, H. undulata Medio Variegata, and H undulata Albo Marinata.

Edit to say Thanks Critter for that link on setting out by clumps!

Shirley1md, when is your last avg frost date? I didn't even think I could WS the datura seeds, but I see you did it successfully. How did you figure out when to WS things? Did the verbena not germinate? Have you ever gotten it to? I haven't, and I want to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Tamara

Tamara,

i'm also doing datura. i think i only have 5 going right now... i have the "white" variety.

I've been reading over in the Datura forum. Most datura do self sow too.

the whole toxic thing has me concerned, but most assure me animals are smart enough to stay away.

here is a link to a thread on GardenWeb
