    Yahoo! I knew we were beating zone 6.
    I didn't want to say anything til brandymulvaine got her adding machine unstuck.
    Good job!
    Go (pesky)zone 5!

    You can add 54 small containers for zone 5. It is such fun. A number of years ago, we moved to a new property, and I WSed a good number of my perennial plants for the gardens here. How else can one afford to start a new garden. Hurray for Trudi.

  • gardenweed_z6a

    Brandi - thanks for doing the count! But it looks like you may have missed these for zone 7:

    Posted by token28001 zone7b NC (My Page) on Sat, Jan 2, 10 at 9:21

    Anyhoo, you can go ahead and add another 344 for zone 7. Thanks!

    Your count for Jan 2nd didn't include them.

    Another 7 for Zone 5 please. I sowed them today. Work tomorrow and night school starts up soon so my sowing will be slow.

    Thanks!!

  • bhnash

    Woohoo - I sowed ONE container today LOL. Please add one to zone 9.

    I'll be sowing lots more, I promise :) But Wintersowing in zone 9 is just the same as elsewhere, as most everything will sprout immediately, and anything needing cold to germinate will have to be put in the fridge or freezer for weeks. Not that I'm complaining mind you, I just love that it got to 66 today, and I was out planting some seedlings of Nicotiana that I had started in the fall. Ah, love sunny winter days in California!

  • hl42
