Wintersowing 2010

Well, it's that time of year again. I sowed my first 7 containers this evening, and as I came in from placing the milk jugs on the patio, I commented to DH and oldest DS, "Well, I've officially started", DS "Started what?", DH shaking his head "The obsession begins." ... so true : )
I tried to do a search for the wintersowing threads from '09 and '08, but they seem to be gone. The other forums still have 60+ pages of threads, the RMG forum is only showing 3. What is up with that???
For anyone new to this forum, I usually start a thread at the beginning of the year for anyone interested in wintersowing to learn how to do it, and also for experienced wintersowers to share their experiences. The old threads had lots of detailed explanations and pictures, but I guess we are starting from scratch this time.
So my first suggestion if you have never done any wintersowing, is to check out the FAQ's on the Wintersowing Forum, here on GW. I'm also linking the Wintersown.org website that has lots of great information to get you started.
Now for the list. Here is what I WS'd today:
Anthemis tintoria (Golden Marguerite)
Asclepias tuberosa
Berlandiera lyrata (Chocolate Flower)
Eschscholzia californica 'Apricot Flambe'
Eschscholzia californica 'Dairy Maid'
Papaver atlanticum 'Orange Sherbet'
Feverfew
Considering my grow list has about 200 things on it, I'm off to a slow start. Guess I need to encourage the kids to drink more milk, LOL. Actually, I'm about a week earlier than I started last year, and winter's just begun.
Anyone else started WS yet, or at least making plans for it?
