I had a ton of foxglove sprouts from an early May sowing last year. I plan to summer sow my sea holly this year after reading that they do much better that way.

Okay, so you can summer sow too. I'm going to try that. I'm new to the website and thought I cancled this post since I found the what I sowed today post and see they were putting stuff out. I'm sorry -bad newbee.....
Thanks to all, I am learning soo much and this will save me a ton of $$

Welcome redrumed,
This is my first year I started in late feb. It's incredible. I have all sorts of stuff sprouted!!
The other day I counted some of the annuals and thought well that's another $3.00 flat for next to nothing. The perennials well, last year I spent a small fortune starting a new hummer & butterfly garden. Now I have big jugs and lasagna pans full!! Never would of been able to purchase all theses and such a new variety of things I've never tried. Trudi sent me lot's of seeds to get started from Winter Sown.

Jump in the dirt is fine!

I'm going to have to do this. It does not sound hard at all. Plus I LOVE saving money!

I am a newbie too. After reading this forum I just couldn't wait...I was actually disappointed winter was over! I planted pop bottles up with plants and they are growing great!

Zinnias were the first to emerge.

I have also planted:
Sweet Pea (climber),
Marigolds,
Lupine (which usually hate me as they need acidic soil)
Canterbury Bells
Larkspur
Dowdeswells delphiniums seed - that came all the way from New Zealand last year but that I quickly massacred when they were just sprouts - I was just about to give up trying seed!

And I have babies emerging...I am a proud mama!
Even a few Delps have just emerged these last few days!
All my friends think it is a really cool idea and my mom wants to try. And surprisingly my boyfriend does not mind that I use the kitchen sink as my work area to plant them up! :) He has been a great sport...and actually I think he finds it interesting as he watches me plant these up.
Thanks everyone!
Sarah
