Container Count / Zone Wars 2011-2012 ~ Official Count (4)

12 years ago

This is the fourth thread in the official Winter Sowing Container Count (affectionately known as Zone Wars).

The count runs from Dec 22, 2011 - May 1, 2012

Everyone is welcome to participate! To participate you simply post on this thread the number of containers you have wintersown. You can post daily, weekly, etc. Each time you post, please include your total count so far. For example:

'I sowed 5 more today for a total of 25 containers'.

How To Count Containers:

Each container, no matter the size, counts as one. However, if you feel your container is worth more than one, just use your judgment. Say, for example, you have one flat bin full of twenty cups with four different seeds. You can count it as 1, 4, or 20. The same for a lasagna pan you may plant several different types of seed in. Whatever you feel is right. We wont be peeking over your garden gate to count your containers ;)

How to List your Zone:

Make sure your zone is listed correctly on your member page so we can place you on the correct 'team'. You can edit your zone by clicking on Member Pages and then click Edit Your Personal Information, Page, and Preferences. You are welcome to use any guide you wish to determine your zone, as well as your own experience. If you are unsure of your zone, this Gardenweb page may help: Finding Your Zone.

If your member page does not list a zone, you must include the zone in your post. For example:
'I sowed 5 more today for Zone 7 for a total of 25 containers'.

If your member pages lists you on the border of 2 zones (such as 7b/8a) you need to decide which team to join for Zone Wars, and include it in your post. Or you can revise your member page and put 7b from now until May 1. Then after May 1 change it back to 7b/8a.

Every container counts so join the fun!!

~Happy Sowing~

10 more fore zone 5. Total 114.

I have my very first sprouts! Onions from the newbie seed project. (Thanks guys!) It's not possible to get a pic yet though. They are teeny and it's cold today so I don't dare open them up. It's supposed to get warmer again over the next few days so I'll give it a try soon.

Good morning winter sowers. Not tallying the count today, but just reminding everyone this is the last weekend of winter, the last chance to sow some containers in the winter! Don't worry though, spring containers count too.
