OK,
I tried my hand at wintersowing this year. I read on here last yr about winter sowing and was going to try but chickened out. Well, I got a container that was perfect for WS'ng this yr so I had no excuse not to try it. I followed the directions here on the stickies and set the container outside on the side of my greenhouse. I am trying butterfly weed (red). It has started to snow here and temps are to get down in the teens/low twenties for the next couple of nights. It just doesn't seem "right" to be putting seeds outside in this weather but... After reading up on this it really does make sense. They reseed and survive in nature don't they. I cant wait to see how this turns out.
