Thanks to everyone who traded seeds with me! I'm looking forward to doing it again this winter! I didn't get my whole crop of WS plants photographed yet. Hopefully I will get them done. We've been getting rained on but it's a very welcome sight after all this terrible heat! Mom and I were watering every day! Ol' Ma Nature has answered my prayers. I'll plant something special for her this winter. Enjoy everyone! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

| Thanks for sharing! Hard to believe how easy the WS process is - sow, place in snow, sleet and rain and be rewarded in the Spring! Dorothy (Meadows) |

| Thanks for sharing all your eye candy, Brad! Some of those are my grand-seeds too. You have every right to be proud of your WS accomplishments--it's easy to see those are some healthy, well-tended plants. Congratulations!! |

| Brad! Those are some HEALTHY Plants! Congratulations! What are you feeding them? Winter Sowing is Great. Thank for posting the pictures! |

| Thank you everyone! You're welcome for the pictures! I'm happy to share them anytime (that goes for seeds too)! Ladyrose, just plain old water (now they'll get rainwater). Sometimes I put MG Tomato Fert. in my watering can (I use it on my houseplants too). I see wonderful results with it! Miracle Gro soil also plays a part lol. The first pics are the plants at the south window. Very hot there but they do get a nice drink of water. Most of my WS plants were either planted right into the ground or into pots. If you look closely in the cosmos Bright Lights picture, you can see a "Moonlight" nasturtium blossom (on the left, in the wooden planter). I didn't WS those but still nice to see my first flower on them! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

| Very nice Brad! Karen |
|
| Very nice looking plants, Brad. I will use your inspiration to put my trailing soapwort in a hanging basket. The bunny tail grass is such a fun plant. Thanks for sharing. |
|
| Very nice! Crego Asters are a gem, you'll fall in love with their blooms. T |
|
| Thank you again, everyone! Mnwsgal, I hope your soapwort grows well in your hanging basket! Mine seems to like it. I just LOVE the bunny tails! Even though they flop over in the rain, they are just wonderful all around! Trudi, that means a lot coming from you! I'm really looking forward to the asters! Brad AKA Moonwolf |
