I haven't actually started wintersowing yet this year. This will be my 6th year though, and since out last frost date is towards the end of May, I've got plenty of time still. I usually have to get all the holiday stuff put away, and the house back in order before I can focus on wintersowing.

I did start saving milk jugs this week, and I have my list of seeds I plan to sow printed out, so I am gearing up.

BTW, I love your GW name : )

Until it got truly cold last week, my spring bulbs were peeking out in my yard. Poor confused babies. Now they're covered in snow. It's not the first time, so I know they'll be okay.
I just set out the first of my containers today. I'd be worried if I saw sprouts already too, but I guess there is no arguing with Mother Nature.
I hope they get through okay.

My lisianthus are sprouting, unfortunately. I love them and hope they survive.

I bet your sprouts will be just fine. They'll grow very slowly (or almost not at all) until it warms up a bit.

I just put lettuce, chard and spinach flats out yesterday. I put them in sun so they will sprout soon, but expect them to mature much slower and by the time they're big enough to plant out the worst of our cold will be behind us.

I was going to wait and just direct-sow my lettuce, but now I don't remember what my reason was! I might have to get some more jugs going!

I've never winter sown it, this is a first for me so we'll see how that goes. :)

I wintersow lettuce every year and it does great! My only problem is that I'm a heavy handed sower, so I end up planting out huge HOS, since I don't have the patience to divide all the tiny seedlings up.

I just started sowing last week so no sprouts there yet, the hellebores have sprouted in the garden (they should be okay) and there seems to be near 100% germination of the weeds seeds that found their way to the garden by the back gate. They say it's going to warm up again for the weekend, perhaps I'll get the lamium and bittercress out of there.

Broccoli and cabbage are both cold season veggies, they'll be fine, they can take dips below freezing and are unfazed.

I checked nothing so far. That is good. Getting worried about Coreopsis and Rudbeckia's. I started moving my jugs to shadier spots.

Have Spinach sprouts up , it is bitter cold today. frozen ground and water every where no hoses for a bit.
