I was out in the backyard cleaning up a little when I thought I'd check on how wet all this rain had made the wintersown containers, not expecting anything yet. And boy was I surprised! 10 containers had sprouts in them I had 4 varieties of poppies, some rock cress and carnations. I was doing my happy sprout dance. I can't believe the green has come! Awesome!
