WANTED: Interest in a Winter Seed Sow after the New Year?

16 years ago

So I could not bring all the seeds I've collected to the Green Elephant.

I'm proposing a winter seed sowing event indoors Friday evening, say 6:30-8:30 pm January 4 or 11; or Saturday morning or afternoon on January 12.

The way I see it, we will all be ready to slit our wrists from the winter darkness. It's still a month before the NWF&G show. This event could save my LIFE!

We can collect poinsettias and use them for winter sowing. I do this every January. Cut off the poinsettia, top-sow the seed, add a little more dirt, label and you're ready for spring.

Thoughts?

Sunday afternoons work too. I have to look at the calendar, but say, 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm some Sunday?
