I'm waiting for about 5 SASEs, so I'm going to say that there are only 3 of each of Silvery Fir tree, Copia and Green Zebra left. There are many Old Ivory Egg seeds still available, as well as radish, arugula and cantalope. I have a few Brussel Sprout seeds too, if anyone wants those.

Hi I mailed you the Genevieve Costoluto and other heirloom tomato seeds we discussed. The Sioux tomatoes I am growing are from this same group of seed packs. You are the first person I am sending Sioux tomato seeds and Indigo Blue Berries cherry tomato seeds. You should receive them on Monday. cottonwood/ragtime

If you are here in Oklahoma, I've had the best luck with Oriental and corn poppies and the like by broadcast sowing the seeds on the soil surface in fall or winter---any time from November to February. They need daylight to germinate, so don't cover them. They'll germinate in winter or spring and you'll have blooms from mid-Spring through around the end of June, depending on the weather and also depending on how far north in the state you are. I'm very far south in OK, so our poppies finish up here as soon as it gets hot, which usually is June but sometimes late May. For California poppies, I've had success with them by broadcast sowing them on the soil surface in earliest spring. They really need sandy soil though, so if you don't have that, they will struggle.

trudi d and engineeregarden Do you both do wintersowing outside?? trudi d are you the same trudi d (Davidoff) on Wintersown.org? Just saw this. Yes that's me. I only start my tomatoes outside. I think I started WSing toms a winter or two after I started writing about my experiences, so that would be nearly seven or eight years ago. WS is based on any plant's ability to reseed. Because toms reseed in my garden I wanted to give it a try. Well, I did, and it worked like charm. I never went back to starting toms in the windowsill after that. You have to be smart in choosing what varieties to WS. If you live in zone five you're not going to get ripe fruits with a 90DTM tomato--it's not logical. So, for short seasons it's going to work better to choose tomatoes with names that sound acceptable to a cool climate or short-season garden like Speckle Siberian, Cold Set, Early Girl, Mountain Princess, etc. Look for varieties close to or under 70DTM. Yesterday was Winter Solstice and the beginning of the Winter Sowing season. I didn't do any tomatoes yesterday--just my Solstice Sow seed sets, but usually very early on in season I work with trees and shrubs, in January I do my perennials, biennials and hardy annuals, and then by the middle of February I start to work with frost intolerant varieties. WS tom seedlings can take frost down to about 27, 28 degrees which is fine by me as that's about the norm for February lows here. Well, though I didn't sow any, for Solstice I still did have a wonderful tomato experience here--the postman brought me a very fat mailer from Geneva, NY--it was from the Plant Genetics Resource Unit of the USDA/ARS, they granted my request and graced WinterSown another set of the most wonderful of varieties which I will Winter Sow, half this year and half next year.
