    If I sowed containers in my dreams can I count those toward the count?? LOL

    I actually prepped several containers yesterday, but I was so tired that I did not sow one seed. Well I went to sleep last night and of course I am waking up all night trying to sow my containers. Dreaming of what all I need to do. So in reality I did not sow one container, but if we could count our dreams toward our container count I would have at least a good 10 to 15 more, LOL.

    Please add 21 for me, total of 25 for Zone 5.

    What it took for me was the threat of company coming for a dinner party. Since November I've been collecting our empty milk jugs in the dining room. I had a deal with my boyfriend that we'd save our empties, he would put up with heaps of milk jugs and I wouldn't raid the neighbors' recycling bins like I did last year. I didn't know where to stash them in our apartment, besides stuffing them into our one closet and hoping no one looked in there. My dear sweet boyfriend saw me scrambling around trying to organize and clean everything and said, "Why don't you take tomorrow and plant some of those? You'll feel better." He was right, and most of my jug collection is now neatly labeled and lined up outside. He was surprised with how fast I went through them. Looks like I will still need to scrounge. :-)

    Hey, Happy First Day of Spring, Everyone!! It is very sunny and VERY cold here in SE Michigan today! Please add 9 more containers to Zone 5, for a total of 116! Just had to sow some on the first day of spring!
    AND, are you ready for this, I am so excited, can't believe this, when I checked for sprouts today, found the Prairie Smoke had sprouted! Of all the seeds I WSed, these were the ones I prayed over the most! Now I'm praying they will survive whatever is left of winter, and then I'll be praying to find a place to put them!!
    Happy Dance for sure!!
    Shirley!

    Another 53 for a total of 287! And, I'm so done. Done, done, done. I did all anuals and veggies. Maybe is too early for zinnias, cosmos, marigolds and MGs, but, this is it. No more jags, soil, bottles, seeds, labels, etc, etc on my poarch. Hope, there will be an early spring. I'm soooooo tired. Yesterday, I've cleaned all front yard. I'm so glad, weekend is almost over, I can go to work and rest.... But, it was fun, except, I can not even move, all my muscle are sore.

    My new count is 583. I'm kinda at a stand still as Old Man Winter won't go away from NE Ohio! Snow & 20's in the forecast for the next WEEK!!! UGH!! I only have a few more reseeding annuals I can sow until I can start my annuals in April. Probably can start more than I realize but not sure what all "reseeds" in my zone so I'm stuck! LOL I'll just be patient & wait til April! :P

    Thanks to hostarookie for keeping the count & doing the Excel spreadsheet!
    Posts through 13:00 on 3/25/11 are included here, others will be included next time.
    Please post any corrections & we will work on them!

    It has been previously announced that containers sown on Winter Solstice Dec 21 - May 1 count for Zone Wars.
    You can celebrate May Day & sow containers!
    You have until midnight of Sunday, May 1, your local time, to sow containers that will count for Zone Wars.
    Any containers sown on May 2 do not count. Zone Wars
    Total: 13,317
    Please post here with your current TOTAL count. Happy sowing!
    Zone 4 = 959
    Zone 5 = 4598
    Zone 6 = 3619
    Zone 7 = 3323
    Zone 8 = 818

    Please click on the link to view the Zone Wars Spreadsheet


    You may need to increase your text size after you click on the spreadsheet:
    control+plus sign or in Internet Explorer - View, Text size (choose a larger size).
    Other browsers are very similar.

    Thanks to everybody who posted feedback on the new spreadsheet!
    Everyone who posted could see it.
    Please post here if you cannot see it and we will get back to you. Thanks!

    Hostarookie, my pleasure. Thank you for all your help!!
    Very interesting - the spreadsheet is a googledoc stored on the google server so when the spreadsheet gets updated, the old link brings up the new spreadsheet.

    Try clicking on the link that I posted on Tues, March 22, for the Zone Wars spreadsheet & you'll get the new spreadsheet that I posted the link to on Friday, March 25.

    I am glad that we are posting the zone totals in the thread - we can look back & see the increase. Otherwise only current figures are available on the linked spreadsheet. Thanks, everyone!

    I almost forgot to post !! I have a total of 20 milk jugs planted.(10 days ago already) I was afraid the weather here was going to stay warmer but it's colder again so no chance of early sprouting.
