Winter Sowing Progress

  My first attempt at wintersowing is showing real progress. So far I have 224 container so far. Roughly 72 sprouting. I just got done spending about 1/2 hour carefully watering each one. This is probably the second time I have watered them since sowing out. I am real excited about these, and can't wait to start planting out all the little seedlings. I am sure I will probably regret that last statement once the time comes. I plan on doing the hunk-of-seedling method. This quick method involves just taking a "hunk" of seedlings and planting them. Survival of the fittest. So far the list below is what I have coming up as of today:

  What's funny is, I almost bought a "Dianthus Raspberry Parfait" plant at Lowe's the other day, but talked myself out of it. Now I see I have seeds sown of it, that are now coming up. Many, many seedlings. A lot cheaper than paying roughly $4 for ONE plant.

  2. Actually I was shocked how easy it was. in the beginning, I thought there was no way I was going to even sow 100, but by doing a few at a time through out the winter, it wasn't too bad.
