Container Count / Zone Wars 2011-2012 ~ Official Count (3)

12 years ago

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

The count runs from December 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.

Everyone who is winter sowing is encouraged to participate.

Chatting, support, suggestions, and friendly rivalry are encouraged.

Every container counts so join the fun!!

~Happy Sowing~

Please add 10 for Zone 8. This brings my total sown to 160, but still only one sprouted. I'm beginning to feel unloved.

Dropped in today because i'm bored at work. LOL I'd forgotten about the container count and i probably haven't contributed to it over the past couple of years. But anyway, i'm slow getting at it, and no saying i'll remember to come back when i've done more.... So, yesterday i did 9 containers for a total of 10. I really don't have room for more plants. You believe that, eh? :> As my 4 year old granddaughter says, "You can just put them in buckets."
