Next week I am planting my seeds indoors. The first week of April I will be planting outside with Wall-o-Waters.

I have never had good luck starting seeds indoors. Also, I don't really have the room inside to do it since we moved into this smaller house. That's why I am thinking I may just start outdoors but protect with my clear containers (greenhouse effect?) I was just wondering how early has anyone dared to do it this way. I will check into the WOW though. Thanks for mentioning it! :)

Please check out the Winter Sowing forum and the following article.

A lot of people have been having a great time sowing in plastic containers (milk jugs, pop bottles, plastic bags, etc.) and setting them outdoors since Christmas. These people swear by the method.

I found out about this winter sowing 4 weeks ago and have been converted.

Try it. It's fun. :-)

I was so afraid it was too late to try it. Thanks for the link. I will check it out. Now to get all my clear covers together. :)

Hmmm, I wonder if it matters that I want to plant right into the ground and cover with the clear containers..... I'll have to find time today to read those links you suggested.

If I planted outside over Christmas, I'd have about 6' of snow on top of them. =)

Man I love living in the snow capital.

According to the people who winter sow, 6' of snow will not be detrimental to the seeds sown with the method. I sowed mine and they were buried last month under 3' of snow.

I urge you to check out the Winter Sowing forum, really. It was an eye opener for me. :-)

I am winter sowing.
But I have started Anemone, Wild Blue Indigo, Alpine Strawberry, Kentuckey Wisteria inside under lights this week. I am hoping they take awhile to germinate as advertised.
Cheers, Matt.
