Hey New York,
Is anyone else wintersowing out there? I've got a list of seeds I'm going to try. Let's keep in touch about how this years gardens are shaping up even now in the cold of the winter.

Well I've got 8 containers sown so far: Lobelia, Zinnias, White Bleeding Heart, Fringed Bleeding Heart, Japanese Maple, White Japanese anemone, Pink Japanese anemone and Canna.
I will be putting in some more after the holidays... should have quite a collection of seedlings in the spring. Should we start thinking about a seedling exchange?
Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy New Year

| I'm looking through my Thompson and Morgan catalog looking for seeds to winter sew. I'm building a cold frame in my back yard. |
