wintersowing

[bluebird]

I didn't have any mold. We recieved a lot of rain last spring but no mold on the plants. Some did drown. lol

You need to cut the bottles/jugs almost in half. Cut drainage holes in the bottom. Place soil in, plant the seeds, sprinkle soil on the seed, sprinkle water on top, tape and lable the jug. I put the jugs outside anywhere I could. Remember don't put the caps on!

This year I will make a 'winter sown station' in the basement. Keep the mess in the storage room.

I bought seeds on clearence last fall so I have a lot to plant.

I have some tomato plants growing already from seeds of old plants in the ground. The problem here is it will be cold soon so will have to protect them. Most of the flowers do reseed and grow as long as DH does not disturb the soil. Have Papaya plants from last years fruit seeds. It is fun watching to see what will come back each year.
