Full StoryHello All!
I've been reading and reading this forum, what a wealth of information, and what a wonderful group of wise gardeners!
I'm a newbie from Southeast PA zone 7a (was 6b!)- bought my first house 2 years ago and spent all last summer in gardening heaven! I spent every spare minute I had outdoors, building raised beds, weeding, digging, planting, etc.
So this year is my first year Winter Sowing! I am so psyched. My sister works at Starbucks and has been funneling me lots of milk jugs. I have a rather hefty stack O' seeds.
I haven't sown anything yet, this insanely warm weather has made me nervous, I'm afraid that we are going to get some terrible cold snap/blizzard in late March that will destroy everything, so I'm taking it slow. I will probably be sowing most of my seeds this week.
Here's my seed list so far. Nothing super-special, as I want to stick to tried-and-trues before venturing into rare heirlooms:
Veg/Herbs:
Basil blend
Zucchini - black beauty
Yellow Squash - early prolific straightneck
Arugula
Chamomile - German
Spinach - Bloomsdale
Tomato - Red cherry and and yellow pear blend
Tomato - Pink Brandywine
Asparagus Bean - Longyard
Also looking for a high-climbing pole bean, any suggestions?
Will be adding some more lettuces, and a large assortment of herbs to this list
Ornamentals:
Penstemon - Rocky Mountain Blue
Goldenrod - Summer Showers
Black Eyed Susan Vine - I'm going to WS half and DS half and see how they do
Delphinium - Pacific Giant
Cosmos - Sea Shells Blend
Cosmos - Sensations Blend
Morning Glory mix - same as above, WS half and DS half
Sweet Pea - Wedding blush
Want to add some coneflowers.
I am also up for suggestions - I have a partial shade, somewhat damp bare patch against the fence in the backyard that is depressing me - it needs some flowers or something back there! I'd love to WS some seeds and fix it up come spring, any thoughts?
