Nancy, I think you will be fine, just put the containers in a shaded area. I believe other sowers in your zone will give you the best advice. I'm in zone 6b and I have sprouts! Crazy weather!

Ladyrose, when did you first sow and what sprouts do you have? You're in NJ, right? My first seeds went out on the 16th and it's been cold so I'm pretty sure I have no sprouts yet.

Nancy, there are quite a few NC growers on here and they could better advise you, but if you're using the small water bottles, be prepared to water. I've tried them and found they dry out faster than bigger containers like milk jugs.

I sowed in Jan, I have borage, swamp milkweed and Snowy Goldeneye sprouts.

I have large 5 gallon water bottles that will hold about 8 small pots each. I also have a few 2 gallon jars. Nancy

We all get these wild weather swings. Usually, it's not too much problem. I wait to sow my annuals until spring or very close to spring.

I finally sowed my first 5 jugs of the year today. Temps are in the 50s today, tomorrow. Wednesday, it gets into the 60s, then thunderstorms, with temps dropping to 25 by overnight. Then it's going to snow. And that's all in one day. ;-)

Hi Everyone,

I sowed cherry tomatoes last week and will put out a variety of veggies this week. The only flowers I will be sowing will be moon flowers and Gerber daisy.
This is my first attempt at WSing.
