My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Winter Sowing

Zone 5 NH with sprouts!

18 years ago

YIPEEEE! I have SPROUTS!!! I can't believe it. My yard is still covered in a foot and a half of snow, and before all the rain, we had 3-4 feet of snow at least.

My sprouts are outside sitting on the ground on top of our septic tank. The snow melts there first. A third of my jugs were still covered in snow. I removed the snow from the jugs.

Most of my sprouts are yellowish (probably due to all that rain). I have sweet william, bunny tails, flower mix, alyssum, aster powder puff, nigella, rose mallow, and malva mystic merlin. The last two only have their root going down and don't have their stem coming up yet. I'm so excited. This is my third year winter sowing and it is still a new experience for me. I've never had sprouts with so much snow on the ground before or this early. My sprouts look like they are growing out of frozen soil. This is a strange year.

Check your sprouts! I hope you have some sprouting too, and if you don't, you will soon, so keep checking!
