Gawdin Fever,
"One VERY important point---make absolutely sure there are NO air pockets by 'back-filling' your planting hole and tamping after each fill! And that is with most ANY transplant!"
Can you just explain a little more about this? I am not sure I understand what you mean.
Yes, the animals are a menace, but I wouldn't garden without them for the world. One of my greatest pleasures is watching one of the "three orange boys" pouncing on a bug, rolling in the sunshine, and chewing on their cat nip plant! Just wish they would dig up a little less but, oh well! LOL

Thanks for the advice about watering/fertilizing them. I will follow your advice. I have always worried about the "clump transplant method" as I thought they would still be too crowded. But, does the strongest seedling just survive and the others die off?

When I transplant I use the rose transplant method.
Meaning; dig the hole where your plant (or seedling will be). I leave a small clump of dirt for the roots to spread out over so they won't be bunched up. Hold the plant/seedling approximately where the plant will be and scoop some dirt over the roots (about a third of the way full?) and tamp lightly. Repeat the scoop and tamp until the plant is covered at soil level (rule of thumb: plant the seedling as close as you can to the level it was at with the soil in the previous container.).

By doing this, the roots will have excellent contact with the soil, no air pockets to dry the roots out, and it seems to me---less shock to the plant.

Does this make sense?

I feel like such a slacker compared to most of you. This is my first year and sometimes I feel a little muddled... don't know where to start! My husband has offered to build me a green house or largish cold frame. I only have 5 milk jugs sowed so far and he has been hearing about my plans for more. I think he is beginning to wonder how on Earth I am going to find room for all this on our small front patio!

This afternoon I sowed:
Verbena hastata (Blue/Purple Vervain)
Astragalus canadensis (Canadian Milkvetch)
Carex (e. washington native)
Sambucus caerulea (Blue Elderberry; e. washinton native)
Nicandra physalodes (Shoofly Plant/Apple of Peru)
Hardy Hibiscus *red*

Vera

Yes, that does make sense. Great, thank you. And thanks for the illustration!
So, I checked on my seeds this morning- all under snow and frozen solid. I am so worried but I am trying to listen to all of you saying it will be okay! I thought gardening was supposed to be a stress reducer, not inducer! LOL

Okay, this is my 1st time!!! I've only used 2 liter jugs so far, sown 42 since 1/20/07...

Thanks to some generous trades and SABE I started with Columbine Mix, butterfly bush, red salvia, stella d'oro, pink dogwood (taken from a neighbors tree), crepe myrtle, agastache hyssop, and gaillardia.
The ground was frozen this morning and the temp was around 20 when waking. I sure hope that is cold enough to make this work. :-) It is the first time I have ever been thankful for the cold since we moved to TN two years ago. :-)

Hello everyone :) This is my first year of winter sowing. I have been lurking for a while, learning a lot.

So far, I have sown:

Tyee Spinach
Winter Density Lettuce
Swiss Chard Rainbow
Kohlrabi Early Purple Vienna
Tomato Supersweet 100
Tomato Beefsteak
Tomato Koraleva
Pea Sugar Ann
Cabbage Walking Stick

Am I crazy to have sown these vegetables so early? Looking around in this thread, it doesn't seem anyone's sown these yet. That makes me a little worried. I have plenty of seeds to sow another round later. I decided to wait on zucchini, melons, winter squash, and try some more tomatoes.

Also, I've sown:

Scotch Heather
Lupine Tutti Frutti
Hollyhock Majorette
Primrose Arctic
Canterbury Bells
Blackberry Lily
Pink Balloon Flowers
Lavender Munstead Dwarf
Larkspur Gentian Blue
Crape Myrtle
Columbine Mix
Halberd-Leaved Marshmallow
Pink and White Mallow Mix
Breadseed Poppies

As a first-timer, all the Latin is a bit intimidating... That said, I've planted:
Black-eyed susan
Shasta daisy
Tomatoes (2 varieties)
Pumpkins (2 varieties)
Lilies

-Joy

For whatever reason, I'm feeling the need to sow many of the same thing at each session...that having been said, I've got 84 or so containers with these sown so far:

Columbines
Agastaches
Hardy Hibiscus
Siberian Iris
Nanking Cherry
Lavender
Ruds
Poppy- Giganteum (have a million more varieties of these and will do 1/2 WS and 1/2 DS in my new poppy bed)

And now I have more bulbs to plant. One of the teachers at school heard I was into gardening and brought me tons of lilies, iris, and cannas from her garden.

Okay I'm new to WSing and I hope I don't offend anyone, but the question running through my head as I read these huge lists of plants is "How big are your gardens?"

If I grew half of what some of you are, I would have nowhere to put all of those plants! Are you growing that much because the failure rate is high? Or do you just give away the extras?

My garden is a "work in progress" (read My Page) and many of the beds are just a couple of bushes with nothing around them. I'll use probably half of what comes up of each and I have friends and family to share with as well. This is my first year of wintersowing so I don't know what my percentage of success will be, but I already have little green babies in 21 of my containers. We've had below freezing days and they're still looking good and going strong.

highalttransplant: NO! The success rates are usually close to 95%. Many of us do have large gardens, but either way---we usually wind up giving many away! We just like to grow things! LOL

Plus it keeps your spirits up during the blah winter months! ;)

Susanne

My garden is tiny. 34x125 feet house and garage included. lol. I just stuff seedlings wherever I can, including 6 neighboring yards and also give them to unsuspecting passerbys. :-) Last year, I even sent some out to a GW friend. :-D

Okay stupid question. You start the seed in jugs, I printed that off the computer. Then you put them outside. Do they need a sunny area or shady. What if they get to big before they can be planted outside?
I guess nows as good a time as any to try this. What have I got to lose besides a few seeds?

We have had such crazy weather this year and I have been so busy that I am just now starting besides that a lot of the plants I grow are tender salvias so a few of those will be done inside so they are closere to blooming when my huummers arrive and the rest will be done later next month.

I only have done these so far:
Blackberry lily
Tritoma
Maltese Cross
Loeblia Cardinalis
Buddleia 'Royal Red'

amazon: I think your post got lost in the spirit of the thread. Sun or shade, doesn't matter, but they will heat up faster in the sun, and dry out quicker, too. In sun you might have to open the jug earlier and water more often. Mine get morning sun.

We plant out babies very early, mostly at one or 2 leaf stage, or you can pot up if you prefer. I plunked everything right into beds. I started with poppies on March 30, didn't keep records after that. I was too busy planting out!

Welcome to the WS forum!

I've finally got some done, so I can post! Wow, this is fun. I can see myself getting completely carried away, since I've already used up my stash of 38 jugs and still haven't even received my main garden seed order from Fedco yet (or the elderberries I just had to have, or the heirloom tomatoes I'm busily collecting)... Gotta start raiding the neighbor's recycle bins.

So far, I've sowed:

Soapwort
Spinach
Horehound
Catmint
Orange Scented Thyme
Oriental Leaf Mix
Garlic Chives
Fennel
Hyssop
Parsley, flat-leaved Italian
Lovage
Spilanthes
Garlic Chives
Lavender
Dill
Marshmallow
Feverfew
Lettuce (Romaine)
Chervil
Kale
Lettuce (Buttercrunch)
Butterfly Bush
Johnny Jump-Up
Yarrow
Alyssum Golden Queen
Parsley, curly
Anise Hyssop
echinacea (saved seed from my medicinal plant)
Tomato (4 varieties)
scallions
Oregano
Chamomile
Salad Burnet
White Liatris
Purple Liatris

Lots of these were from lovely veterans in the Christmas Adopt-A-Newbie, others from kind SASE offers, and still others from my new habit of compulsively buying seeds, LOL! You've all created a monster! Part of me is still just a little bit newbie-nervous that it can't *really* work if it's this easy... but I have faith in all your success stories.
