It’s cold but Spring is on the way

In this video, I have an update on my winter sowing journey. I am experimenting with three different methods: sowing directly in the ground, utilizing milk jugs, and placing seeds in various containers, as well as using a cold frame for protection against the elements. Each method offers unique advantages, and I’m eager to see how they perform throughout the season. The winter sowing containers are a surprise that I am particularly excited about, and I will share my observations and results in a future update, detailing the progress and any challenges I encounter along the way. Stay tuned!

It is time to set up my cold frame and try winter sowing!

It has been hot here, so I delayed this step in my plan to create a pretty spring garden. It is getting cold again overnight, so I have moved my Snapdragon, Foxglove, and English Daisy seedlings to the cold frame. I also have pansies, poppy seedlings, and some lavender seeds I am trying to sprout. I have started winter sowing. The winter solstice has passed, so the time is right. I will update as time goes on.
