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:
How To Count Containers:
How to List your Zone:
If your member page does not list a zone, you must include the zone in your post. For example: 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. To see previous Container Count threads, click on this list of Zone Wars threads. 
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~ |

I tried this before,everything sprouted fine, but it seems like I let them dry out to much.This was just an expsirment(SP)indoors, in winter. I am trying it for real this year. I will try to update on this As spring gets closer. PS also tried coffee grounds, it did not seem to work, nothing sprouted as best I recall |

Zone Wars Summary: Zone 4 . . . . . . . . . 295 Total Containers: 5,689 Good morning, winter sowers. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Welcome to zone 6, Gwen49! Zone 6 currently has a solid lead. Lol Beatrice, you are a "sowing machine"! I haven't heard that one, but it's got to have been used on this forum sometime before...? Bookjunky, please adjust your total - your 1/2 gallon milk jugs count as 1 container each, not .5 container. I use 2 LTRs, 1 LTRs, 16 oz cups, and salad boxes, amongst others, and although they are very different sizes, count as 1 container each.

| First report in for containers (I was a little busy in January getting the new USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map out (www.planthardiness.ars.usda.gov), Add 22 containers for zone 6b for KimKa. I swear since I'm not doing the stand at the farmers market this summer, I'm not going to break 3 figures this year.

Zone Wars Summary: Zone 4 . . . . . . . . . 319 Total Containers: 5,830 Good morning, winter sowers. Welcome to the count, Sweetlady and Kimka! Bookjunky, don't feel like you're cheating, it is okay to count even a 6 oz container as a separate container. Think of it this way - the container may be small, and you're using less potting mix, but you're still going to same trouble to organize and sow seeds, make a label, monitor the sprouts, then plant out. The smallest containers I use are a few 8 oz cups, for the basil and parsley. Click the Container Count / Zone Wars Spreadsheet to see the container count in detail.

| 4 more for me today, bringing my total to 55. Zone 5 Hubby has become an enabler, bringing home seed packets when he goes to the store. And my little guy, who had picked me a flower last summer was tickled to discover that while it had been still sitting in the kitchen window, it was loaded with seeds. He promptly gathered them up in a paper towel and put them on my work table. LOL, I can take a hint. They were sowed today. |

| The new USDA zone map (another thread here) put me in zone 9a (I've reported in for 7 in post just above). |
|
| Diego, I think the general population in zone 4 is much smaller than other zones. Also, many in that cold climate just assume they can't grow anything from seed. We're glad.you've joined in, anyway. Martha |
|
| Please add 8 for Zone 8. My total is now 132, but still no new sprouts - darn it all! |

But then he carefully tended a little patch of weeds and declared it to be his garden. This year we'll be building his own bed and he wants a rock garden. I'm pretty sure this is because he likes rocks. I'll work with his version. It'll make him happy. |

| I sowed 48 more containers for a total of 248. Almost done except for the tomatoes and I only have 40 seeds so that won't be so bad. I think I'm going to need to hire help for the planting out, though. Just got tired of all the open space in my flower bed so went gung ho this year for sure. I have yet to check out seeds in stores though - so maybe I'm not done yet. |

| 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." |

Zone Wars Summary: Zone 3 . . . . . . . . . . 12 Total Containers: 7,803 Good morning, winter sowers. We're pushing 8,000! Welcome two new counters, Takenbylovely and Canyonwind. Canyon, how nice that zone 9 has another counter! Pixie, no problem, suggestions are welcome and it would be easy to put a link in the first post. Keep sowing everybody!

What we do or don't do to aid them may help determine their eventual success, but the overwhelming desire for life burns as bright in the smallest seed as it does in us."...William Cullina |
