5 more for Zone 7 (my total is 23).

Please, add 15 more for zone 6, for a total of 77.

Thanks, Karen.

Zone 7 is making a play! Watch your backs there 5 & 6!

I've just started today but there is more to come. Please add 31 to Zone 7.

I do not sow in alpha order, but I do "place" in alpha order outside, so I can find plants later! I have a A-E shelving unit, a F-K sheving unit, etc with the jugs grouped by letter on a shelf. I add my annuals right into the system later.

Nancy

I've finally started ws.
Please add 60 jugs to ZONE 4

More to follow.
Sandy

I did my sunflowers plus a few others yesterday. Again, winter sowing without a coat, just a sweater.

Beatrice

"There are many tired gardeners but I've seldom met old gardeners. I know many elderly gardeners but the majority are young at heart. Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized. The one absolute of gardeners is faith. Regardless of how bad past gardens have been, every gardener believes that next year's will be better."...Allan Armitage

Please add 6 more to Zone 7...my new total is 120!

The weather has been beautiful for working in the yard. DH brought in 2 pickup loads of soil for the new flowerbeds we are building. The WS'd babies are going to love their new homes!

Happy February, winter sowers! We're just about to break 5,000! Welcome new counters Weebay, Ruthz, Ibheri and Sandlapper_rose. And a special welcome to Ibheri, who is a counting for zone 9. How exciting!! Don't be intimidated, but you are the first zone 9 counter of this year, last year, and perhaps even earlier years. A zone 9 counter is unusual (you will have to keep us posted how winter-sowing works in zone 9).

Mindyw3, please check your total, I put you down for 14, but the spreadsheet had said 9 before that (which would have totaled 16).

Hello all! Newbie here and I have started 47 pop bottles / milk jugs etc since 12/30. Crazy warm weather here so I have held off on doing more but I see that others are going ahead so maybe I should too! And, I'm trying everything while also learning the difference between perenials, hardy annuals, tender ones, etc. This is so much fun!

Pls add 11 containers to Zone 5.
My total is 11.

Please add 6 for Zone 8 which brings my total to 100. Thanks.

12 so far for zone 5. I planted 5 this week, 7 the week before but haven't posted at all until now so pls count all for this week. These are my 1st ever wintersown containers, wish me luck!

I just sowed my first 19 containers (ever) last night. Zone 6

I am hoping for a good harvest.

I started in January and did three sowing sessions for a total of 64 containers so far. Now I need more potting mix. Every year I tell myself I will have enough mix because I'm not going to do as many containers as years past. I have not been able to stay under my self imposed limit any year so far :)

23 more jugs for zone 4 so my total is 104.

8 more for Zone 8. My total is now 16.

10 more for me, with a total of 40. z5.

9 more for me, new total of 133.

Please add 5 for Zone 8. My total is now 105. Thanks again.

I finally started winter sowing... but only 13 containers so far. I'm waiting for my seeds to come from a trade I recently participated in. Once those come, I'll be sowing like crazy! :-)

Please add 13 to Zone 4

So hot here that a mosquito bit me as I was working on the front porch this evening. Sowed sjc48's Coral Nymph Salvia (Texas Hummingbird Sage) that she kindly sent me for my butterfly/hummer project. Thanks again, Shirley!

Terrene, this includes the 2 A. purpurascens (purple milkweed) that sprouted in the fridge that I have now moved to a styrofoam cup outside. Thanks for your help!
