| You guys! I am so psyched!!
All of my 35 containers sprouted! Every. Single. One!!!!!
I'm especially excited because my delphiniums sprouted, which I know can be finicky - and I've been looking forward to those the most.
I am addicted. Lookout world, an avid wintersower has been born.... |

| It is soooo exciting to see the babies sprout! While everything hasn't sprouted yet for me, I'm happy that I have babies. I'm taking pictures like a new mother would and sharing with everyone that will take a look. Might even get them started next winter...and even this spring. Good luck and enjoy!! |

| You go girl! If you want a newbie pack to sow some more, post on the thread. They're yours. |

| Congratulations Amy, welcome to the world of seed addiction. It is truly the way to go. |

| Congrats on your 35!!! I also am amazed every time I get a delphinium seedling - for some reason these seem very special. It's clear that you "have this down now" so just keep going! Go get your annual seeds and do up another 35! (DISCLOSURE: THOSE OF US WHO ARE TRUE SEED ADDICTS WILL TRY TO GET YOU TO SOW IN CONTAINERS ALMOST YEAR ROUND) |

| I only tried 15 little ziplocs this year (planted them March 5) and I have all of them but one sprouting! The one that didn't was a batch of green beans my 5yo DD helped plant. They were apparently loved to death. She had been watering them all along so now they are moldy and rotten. :( I've secretly replaced them and have asked her to not water them to see if hopefully they will get better. I know it's not right to fib to her, but I didn't want to crush her helpful spirit since this is the first year we are really trying from seed. I've got water/soda bottle "cloches" ready for when the little darlings are ready to be transplanted. Just in case this wacky spring weather tries to snow us in or something. It's officialy - I'M HOOKED!

| Add me to the 'hooked' group! As of two weeks ago, I had sown 49 containers, and all but 9 have sprouts! I am not giving up on those 9, and actually sowed a few more today! And I had a bit of a bipolar gardening day...I started out sad when my pelargonium overwintering project didn't turn out so well. (I had tried the 'save them upside down in a box' thing, and none of them survived.) Then, I found my 'Indian Shot Canna' experiment, from seeds in the newbie pack, have sprouted! I had actually forgotten them, and walked into the spare room to find them 3 inches tall already! Now, that was exciting! I think my neighbors are starting to get used to me squealing in excitement when I find new cool stuff growing! |
