Congrats on the sprouts and the move, not so much on starting over on the gardens. :)

Your post made me go out and check my jugs. Wasn't expecting anything since I didn't sow till March 22, but I have a few lettuce sprouts coming through. That combined with temps in the 50s has me thinking maybe our miserable, long, long winter is finally over.

I'm trying to think what a 100' move would involve, and I'm picturing myself with my garden wagon making a whole lot of trips with dishes, boxes ;)

I have some things germinating and am especially glad to see the iris chrysographes seedlings coming up spikey and strong.

At the same time I'm dismayed at how much false lily of the valley is still here, I'd hoped I'd made more of a dent in it last year. Back to my shovel, I'm not going to let it win...

Congratulations Vera!

Happy Sprouting Vera!!

Hoo Woo!! Reminds me.....time to get going on sowing my lettuces caryltoo! Congrats! I have a raised bed along the deck and I'm just planning on direct sowing several of those, radish and mesclun mix. Can be covered with poly if need be. Think I'll do that today...hmmm! By the way.....my first sprouts this year so far have been pretty quick from sowing to germination too. Hope the trend keeps up :)
My latest wintersown sprouts were:

Asclepias tuberosa

Yes....I do look a little nutty running back and forth with my shovel and 6-wheeler LOL!
We moved a new elderly tenant (we be the new managers) into the old place on the 6th and she is thrilled to have gardens. I am leaving quite a few of the perennials and am filling in with annuals/veggies. I told her she wouldn't have to do anything but sit and enjoy as I will keep everything up for her :) Matter of fact I'll be filling up this whole RV/Mobile park with beauty....just give me time LOL!!

So far I've only taken my Hibiscus moscheutos, Penstemon "Husker's Red', and bits and pieces of various sedums, Hen's and Chicks and cuttings from the Hyssopus officianlis, I replaced some of the holes with Maltese Cross (taken from other parts of the beds), and Hollyhocks moved from up here. The only other stuff I'm taking are my 2 Rugosa Roses, and a few clumps of Creeping Thyme. I'll be leaving last years w'sown Lavender, Butterfly Weed, Echinacea, etc. Not like I won't be able to enjoy it or anything LOL!!!

I sowed more annuals and perennials (wintersow style) over the last few days too:
Marigold "Harlequin"
Nicotiana alata (white)
Giant Stock Mix
African Daisy (Dimemorphotheca)
Sunflower (several more 4 packs)
Lavatera (annual white)
Sweet William 'Sooty' ( several 4 packs)
Chinese Forget-me-not
Impatiens balsamina mix
Maximillian Sunflower

Indoors I have:
Four O'clocks
Marigold
South African Foxglove
Zinnia 'Profusion Cherry'
Moon Flower
Datura wrightii
Lavender 'Munstead' or 'Vera'. Not sure which plants these were harvested from in my eastern wa garden. No matter. I've got 12 potted up seedlings YEAH!!

Several years I've tried w'sowing Moon Flower vines and BIG FAT fail everytime! Sowing indoors I had no expectations either, but boy was I surprised. Now the are already covered in flower buds. Hope they will transfer okay?

Yeah....I'm getting windy....but I missed you all :)

Happy growing
