Yay! I have 5 varieties out there now.. nothing happening yet. I'm determined to believe though. I kill things under lights. I'm just not diligent enough.

Let Ma Nature do it all for me? Yeah.. that's the way to go.

I grew about 50 tomatoes (beefsteak and cherry) just in my windowsill. Some are REALLY big and others are a few inches because I did two rounds.

I also did three or four varieties by WS. All of them are sprouting, some more than others but sprouts in all. Some have their second set of leaves already.

My first ever WS tomatoes sprouted well and most have had true leaves for a couple of weeks. This weekend I put 9 of them in larger pots (I had them in little flats). Pretty fun. I won't actually plant them for a little while.

I, too, will "trust" this method better next year!

I wintersowed tomato seeds for the first time this year. Mine are about 4" high now with several sets of leaves. I've given away several plants but plan on planting the rest in the garden this weekend. I also have 2 other batches of tomato seeds done. One batch all of them have germinated with 2 sets of leaves. The second batch was just sowed last Thursday, 4/8. I love wintersowing and all of the great surprises it brings!!!

How are your sprouts now that it's getting so cold at night in NE ohio? I have some I tried starting indoors but I've been putting them out and in depending on night temps. So far this method is not as easy as winter sow. Ohio just makes me nervous about the chance of frots.

Floodthelast, I posted earlier today that I had no action. I just checked and have sprouts in the Black Krim container. *Happy Dance* I'll cover them if the forecast calls for frost, but otherwise they're on their own. I'm North of you in Ontario. And I know I've heard colder zones than myself being successful.

I say go for it. Do you have any extra seeds? Just toss em in a container for kicks. See compare your season end results to the ones done on your windowsill. That way next year you'll have this years data to roll with.

(I'm betting you'll be wintersowing toms next year!)
