| 1. I will be more organized with regards to recordkeeping. 2. I will try not to be so impatient once the winter breaks...ha! 3. I will make time to WS at least a couple of containers every day (it helps with my seasonal 'blahs'). 4. I will keep my expectations reasonable, instead of driving myself nuts when certain varieties are duds. 5. I will remember to give thanks for the wonders of nature, and the ability to actively enjoy it! Great topic! |

| I will winter sow some self seeders as I found out that they don't always self seed. No cosmos or hummingbird sage this year, two of my favorites. |
|
| 1. I will take as much care of the plants once they're in the yard as I did with the babies in the milk jugs. (had so little rain this year - I let everything fry by July!) 2. I will try to be more patient. 3. I will REMOVE the caps from my milk jugs before storing them. (Pee-eww!) 4. I will plant out all my containers by the end of June. (I still have some dianthus, Siberian iris, and heuchera in containers.) 5. I will plant my baby annuals closer together this year so they make more of an impact. Erika |

| I will will will clearout sections of the gardens that I have never liked much early in the spring so that there is room instead for new plants that I love. I will WS a bit less and direct sow a bit more (especially zinnias) I will look for nice large containers all year long to find them on sale. I really enjoyed container gardening with many annuals this year and I want MORE (and the really big ones are so expensive) I will remember to call the people who said they want to "watch me do it" when I have a Saturday WS day. |
|
| I will plant severl milk jugs of the same seed so I can have a large area of color,instead of hundreds of plants with all differnt colors. I will rip out all the plants that I didn't really like. I will try better this year to keep my gardens weeded better I will ws at leaset 10 MJs each day to keep from stressing I will gather more seeds next year I will plant more annuals this year for my containers I will get my veg, garden seeds planted early so they will be a good size to plant out.I will try new vegetables this year. |
|
| I will get my raised beds installed for the veggies that I will ws. I will LABEL my jugs instead of just guessing (in my defense I only did about 10 jugs last spring-- this will be my first year with a lot of jugs) I will get the plants I already have moved in fall so I have room in spring for the ones I will really love. I will find a way to make it all make sense... its kind of mish mashed right now. I will have beautiful gardens by this time next year ;) |
|
| 1. I will not experiment with various juice bottles and will use milk jugs only. 2. I will stick to my "seed plan" and not give in to the temptation of new seed packets beckoning me from store shelves, lol! |
|
| I will try winter sowing for the first time this year instead of trying to start seeds indoors. I will plant more carrots so there will be enough for us and for the dog. |
|
| I am diggng through my seeds to see which ones are wintersow so they don't get lost in the box and missed. I will continue to dig up softened clay and add organic material to it for the veggie beds so I'm in good shape come spring. I too will start the tomatoes early enough that I can top them and have prime plants for the garden. |

| I will not let "life" get in the way and prevent me from winter sowing this winter. :( |
|
| I'm with you, Carolyn - I will sow even MORE stuff this year (got a couple of years to make up - and more yard to fill!) |
