Hi Red,

Welcome to RMG, and thanks for signing in on the WhoÂs Here thread.

HereÂs a link to this winterÂs RMG winter sowing thread, and at the bottom of the first post, BonnieÂs has a link to the winter sowing site. You should be able to find answers to most of your questions in the linked thread, and if youÂre still wondering about something after checking it out, just ask, and if nobody else knows the answer, BonnieÂour winter sowing guruÂwill be along to help you!

In my opinion, youÂre not too late to winter sow this year, but you really should do it very, very soon! The one year I did it I didnÂt get anything put in till the end of February, and that was actually a pretty warm winter, so some of the stuff came up very quickly. With the cold winter weÂve been having this year (so far!), it seems to me it should work out pretty well for you. Winter sowing is more about letting the seeds come up naturally in the cold so you donÂt need to worry about covering them up all the time as it is about getting things out into the cold that need to be stratified. But even for things that need the cold to germinate, unless we get very warm very quickly, there should still be time to accomplish that too!

Thanks for coming out of lurkdom,
Skybird

Skybird,
Thanks for the information. Wintersown.org is an amazing site, and actually has links back to gardenweb.com. It was tough to weed through the links directly from gardenweb.com, but on wintersown.org - simple simple simple :)

I'm putting out 20 gallon milk jugs on Tues. I'm crossing my fingers that I still have enough time left!!! :) I think it will work out either way - warm or cold.
