2 different poppies-about a week earlier than last year. I was surprised-it's been such a cold winter here. I'm happy happy!

I've got more poppies to add to the brave two that sprouted a couple of weeks ago, some dianthus just peeking in one of 3 containers, and one lone red flax seedling. I'm pretty happy with them, because with the exception of the dianthus that sprouted, all these seeds are 5-6 years old.

Now, if only that darned blue flax would sprout ...

Yes, it's slowly melting and today I saw the first bits of the containers under the snow, but it will a few more weeks before I see any sprouts.

Just hoping mother nature is through with her torture for New England. Enough is enough with the cold, snow, ice storms.

Fran

Oh my Cosmos hit yesterday too.

Keep looking at the tomatos but they are not due to show up till april.

I have seen first sprout of my cuphea today- my friend wanted a hummingbird garden so I am growing several cuphea. Out of 200 or so containers I have germination in about 1/4, mostly hardy stuff like lupins, poppy,primula, stock, penstemon, dianthus,linum then some hollyhock, digitalis, salvia, scabiosa, nicotiana. Since today is going to be mid 70 I uncovered everything that germinated and took off my cold frame from pansy and primulas. They have a little sun burned edges on leaves but things will improve am sure.

EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Gaillardia Arizona
Gaillardia Aristata
Gaillardia Goblin
Hibiscus - Yellow
Hibiscus - Peppermint Schnapps
Rudbeckia Cherry Brandy
Shirley Poppies

That's all that I can remember right now. The only that hasn't sprouted is Chinese Lanterns.

Northern IN - I have:
baby's breath
sweet william
tahoka daisy
baby blue eyes

Haven't checked yet today! Hope there are some more!

I'm in full sun up on a hill in Z5 in NH, so I perhaps might be in a mini-microclimate of sorts...not sure how you define micro-climate. We're higher than the rest of the town, and have more 'wide open space' than most. Who knows.

My list is still small:

Burpee 'Wild Flower' Mix
Agrostemma

Activity showing in:
Convovulus Morning Glory Blue Flash containers
Lupin- can't remember which variety. Russell maybe.

Other than that, nothing else.
I need to stop watching my pots like boiling water...it's a waste of time. I'll check again in a day or two since we're having a good streak of weather this week.

My first sprouts were of chamomile a few weeks ago. We've had more consistent temperatures lately so the following have made an appearance:

Gallardia, Goblin
Lychnis, Maltese Cross
Malva, Zebrina
Stocks, 10 weeks
Candytuft, giant hyacinth

I hope to have much more with the latest warm spell.

~Valiche

Zone 7, Northern VA:

Broccoli
Lettuce and Lettuce
Cabbage
Bachelor Buttons

--I'm patiently waiting for the others to sprout, and probably look like a fool with my eye plastered to the top of a milk jug, but that's life!

Marcy

cabbages have roots emerging, but thats IT.
hmmph!

Althought I did find a california poppy from the DS bed.

I've got what I believe may possibly be a Japanese Maple sprout. They were sown in November direct from the tree and covered with sand. I also sowed a bunch of shrubs about that time and have decent germination in that large container. I sowed 12 kinds of shrubs. The best so far is Rose of Sharon and Mock Orange. That explains why it spreads so quickly here. The worst is snowball bush. I don't even know what the plant will look like. I got the seeds as an extra in a trade and sowed them.

poppys!!! first time i ever had luck with poppys!!
so far thats the only sprouts.
i might have prairie smoke sprouting? lol i used soil out the yard so dont know if its prairie smoke or could be a weed? lol.

It's interesting to me to see what's sprouting for others in the same zone as me. For example, Shinyalloy, I'm still waiting on my Gazanias, Lupines, and Verbascum to sprout. Lindalana, you've reminded me that I haven't sown the Nicotiana yet.

I had sprouts in two more containers yesterday, Dill 'Mammoth' and Cauliflower.

On a sad note, the sprouts of Amaranth 'Autumn Touch' seem to have died. I knew I should have saved that one until April ... grrrrr.

I'm getting frustrated that parsley and the broccoli haven't sprouted! I'm wintersowing more tenders this weekend!

actually I just transplanted out in the garden my lupins, poppies and variegated lunaria. They just germinated, only cotyledons and I never done it before that way but am trying something new for myself.

Yippee!!! First sprouts in Zone 5.

I thought I saw signs of germination in some of my agastaches a couple of days ago. Today I can see the seed leaves on:

Agastache Aurea
Agastache Golden Jubilee
Agastache White Licorice
and
Knautia is starting to germinate

Pat

Beets (Detroit Dark Red)

Every day it's such a thrill when I see new sprouts and we are having quite a warm spell here in Colorado. I am really hoping to see my herbs come up soon. I have a bunch more seeds to WS this weekend because I keep buying 1 or 2 more packs every time I go to the store!

in the house under light:

c.cheilanthoides
incarvillea delvayii

California Bluebell
Beauty MallowMix
Pennie Black Nemophila
Evening Primrose
Godetia
Kohlrabi Purple Vienna
Broccoli
Spinach Bloomsdale
Lettuce Buttercrunch
Codnopsis Clematidia

This morning, I noticed one sprout each of Giant Cape Gooseberries and Amaranth Love Lies Bleeding! These are two I'm especially pumped about!

found multiple columbine, campanula, phlomis russeliana, polemonium germinated. Also mimulus tigrinus and venidium jaffe started which might present a problem. Should have left some tenders for later but things have a way of happening. I get so overwhelmed by spring chores that seed starting has to be be finished early enough. Only have MG, calceolaria, various annual vines and castor bean to be started yet.

Zone 5
Tutti Frutti Lupine
Russell's hybrid Lupine
Centaurea Chocolate
Agrostemma "Pink and Purple"

That's it so far for me.

Melissa1977

Zone 5

My only 2 are
Millet Limelight and
Pink Sedum

They are very tiny ones. A few other containers look like something is happening and sprouts are possibly on the way.

Karen

My first (and only sprouts) in Zone 5 are Shasta Daisy 'Alaska' and only the first leaves.

We've had temps in the 60's this week, and things are starting to sprout like crazy!

Newly sprouted:

Petunia 'Prism Sunshine'
Gaillardia 'Goblin'
Silene Regia
Verbascum 'Copper Rose'(Yeah! Even at 50% off, these were expensive seeds)
Helenium 'Helena Mix' (one tiny sprout)
Parsley 'Flat Leaf Italian'
Beet 'Golden Grex;
Chard 'Ruby Red'

The forecast is calling for snow by the beginning of the week, so I'm glad nothing too tender has sprouted yet.

I have my first sprouts of the season! I am so excited!
They are: Oriental poppy, Tahoka daisy, Agastache foeniculum, Dianthus, Virginia Stocks, and I see activity in all my Lupine jugs!

Rhonda

Dianthus
"Black Sooty"
"Spooky"

-popped up today.

Melissa1977

Today: One Lavender Vera sprout!

Unfortunately, when I took another look at the "Giant Cape Gooseberry sprout" I was so excited about, it now looks like a brassica sprout. I think I sowed it the same time as the broccoli and kohlrabi and one of those seeds must have slipped in there.

I love lavender though, so still a great day.

I have a lot of different things sprouted so far,but only one daylily.I was so hoping to get several of them.I still have my fingers crossed.

I have:
Sapnish lavender
Chocolate M.G.
Tye Dye M.G.
Tomatoes
one sanguinea brug.
dill
lemon balm
sage
chammomile
baby bear sunflowers
teddy bear sunflowers
one pink mexican bird of paradise
double pink peony poppies
one razzamatazz echinacea
one queeny hollyhock
two black hollyhock

Thats it for now anyway. Still waiting:)

I have:

Joe Pye Weed
Poppy
Sweet William
English Daisy
Blue Flax
Ice Plant
Moss Rose
Oriental Leaf Lettuce

boo hooo...... i haven't any yet because i thought I was supposed to put the jugs in the shade.............duh.....I'm new to ws'g but not gardening. I couldn't understand why everyone was having sprouts and I had nada!!! Good thing I grew lots of tropicals indoors or I would be weepy:-)

So, i dont' have any ws sprouts yet, but i moved them into the sun a couple of days ago (what little sun was out) and it's been brrrrr....cold. Today it's sunny so maybe in a week i'll have sprouts.

I has cabbage x3, swiss chard and forget me nots and poppies!

:)

This is my second year winter sowing and at first I was a little doubtful, but with the warm spell last week and temps in the low 60's I have sprouts.

So far I have:
Sweet William
Maltese Cross
Rose Campion
Ladybells 'Elvis'
Hollyhock 'Country Romance'
Coreopsis
Apricot Foxglove
Salvia 'Rose Queen'
Globe Thistle
Evening Primrose

I'm so excited! Now if only I had some help to prepare those beds, humph.

Butterfly weed!

This was the one I listed under - most wanted. 2 spouts so far.

I have snow-in-summer sprouts. Waiting patiently for the rest. Must get my annuals sown.

Karen

Late yesterday I found the lupins, safflowers, delphiniums kale kohlrabi and another cabbage sprouting.

:)

happy happy happy.

Checked everything to see if it needed water. I used a drycleaning bag to protect the plastic produce boxes that dry out easy. Tuesday its going to be 57 and rainy so that outta wake up alot of things.

As a newbie, I'm happy to have sprouts of lupine, evening primrose, morning glory, thyme, mexican hat, and phacelia! There is plenty more to come. The weather here in MN has been gorgeous, but snow is always an option through June : )

I check on them every day and I LOVE IT!!!!

Yep! This is the time of year when the newbie addiction really takes hold! No doubt about that!

I found 2 containers with sprouts today

Cauliflower
Hollyhock
