ummm, LOL! I continually change my mind on what I will be working on next... but here goes a quick description of my thoughts...

1. look at my lot and say, heck I need to add this.. promptly forget about it..

2. look through the seed catalogs over and over.. order in my mind 20 X , promptly forget about that..

3. Finally place my orders, then relize, heck I already ordered the same seeds from a different company =)..

4. Sow them all, then relize I dont have enough room anyways and will have to create more gardenbeds..

5. Lose half of it to a late frost! but still have more than needed for the year =)..

6. definetly ramp up on the annuals for fillers though.. need way more next year.. that I hopefully do not lose to a late late frost!

Hmmm. I need to redo the bed along the side fence. It's a lot of work to dig up and redo, and some of it I will start with summer sowing.

Easy question. Sow a LOT less than 486 milk jugs. DON'T brag about it to the neighbors. It was fun in February and madness in March but it made the winter fly by so I can't complain other than wonder where to plant all the seedlings. I have a huge yard and could easily turn it into a botanical garden--there are deep shade areas, dappled shade areas, steep slopes, full sun areas and steep, hilly, rocky areas. Even trading for seeds, who has the time to plant, mulch and maintain all that? Growing the plants isn't the obstacle; it would take an army to plant, weed, mulch & maintain them.
Deep sigh...

Sow less.

But still sow an insane amount of super fancy columbines.

Figure out how to wedge those fancy columbines into already packed beds.

Blue columbines. Yellow columbines.

I need more mid spring blooms. I've already direct sown some collected Mountain Bluet seeds and columbine seeds. But I want more.

I have saved 50 wintersowing containers from this year. That's it. I will spring sow my annuals again in open containers with plastic covering. But for perennials, I only plan 50 containers. Really. I mean it. I know, right.

Next year I'll be doing just annuals and veggies. Unless something really catches my interest, then I'll have to have it even if I have no more room in the existing beds. We just got a mantis, so I'll create more. (yeah, right?)

I might do Echinacea again - not that I need any more, but people seemed to like it at the plant swap, and it sure was easy. :)

I don't think I need a lot for my beds at this point...they're pretty full as it is, and I might even have to start taking stuff out later this year. And as mentioned above, I don't really want to make more beds, because I couldn't do the time to maintain them!

So, I might just pick three or four things that I think will be popular and sow them for the spring swap. It was really so much easier than having to dig up and divide things - I just put the cups in the car and off I went! :D

Hopefully I stick by my vow to sow less than this year but like Token I want lots and lots more columbine. The blue ones, yellow ones and white ones are so gorgeous. I would also like to add more iris. They're stunning even though they bloom right when the temp hits 90+ for the first time and the flowers don't last. They're so gorgeous it's worth the show.
My baptisia is blooming as is my lupine and they're also dramatic additions early in the season. So, lots more to add but not necessarily different things than I WS this year. Just more of the stunning ones so they have a bigger impact. If even a tenth of the foxglove seedlings I've got grow to maturity and bloom I'll have a foxglove forest.

Apologies for any bad paraphrasing here:

"What are we going to do today, Brain?

The same thing we do everyday, Pinky - try to take over the world."

Sow less, yes. :-)

Start yoga again. every year the ground gets farther & farther away from my hand holding that hunk-o-seedlings, grrrr
more veggies
2010 Goal -- Start a new holding bed for 2011 ")
lilly ")

My 2011 goal will not differ much only because no matter how full my beds get, Winter Sowing is oh so therapeutic. I love not getting the mid Winter blahs. And the trades are so much fun, love getting new stuff to try. Lawn is over rated, lol. May be the last year the pool goes up so I can have more room for plants.
