A few people have already signed up for the next drawing for a chance to win free seeds (thank you)! I am planning on doing the next drawing early next week, so make sure to keep those numbers coming. Each time you post your latest container count, you will be entered in the contest to win.

I winter sowed a few more containers this past week. Here my list of the latest seeds I've sown:

That's 18 more containers for me with a total of  49 for the season so far. I don't know about you, but I still have more to go! The first picture above are the seeds I received in the mail this week. That's most of my vegetable garden, and I've only just begun sowing all those seeds!

The running total of containers sown BY YOU so far is:
117 (WOW!)

You guys are awesome!!

I love getting comments, they make my day. I read and respond to all of them. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave one!

  1. Yesterday was so sunny here in Western NY. My containers are starting to shed their winter snow blankets too! This week's new additions was 9 bringing the total count to 67. I have 3 indoor flats planted and they sprouted rather quickly...perhaps that is a good gardening omen for this year?

  2. Hi Kristie! Wow sunny and melting snow, that sounds so great. It's been mostly gloomy and snowy for us this week. Yuck! Hopefully our snow will be melting soon too. Yeah, nine more containers!! I will add that to the count, and of course enter your name again in the next drawing. I hope the fast sprouting flats means a good gardening omen for your garden this year! I'm going to do a few flats inside too but I'm making myself wait a few more weeks. It's hard to wait though, I'm dying to see some sprouts. :-)

  3. From your winter sowing experience, when have you seen your first sprouts? Spring is slowly marching our way and I want to be prepared! (My container county jumped up a smidge...now I am at 81!)

  4. Hi Kirstie,
    81 containers, WOW! Good for you. Funny that you asked me about when to expect sprouts, and now you have some! :-) I looked back at my winter sowing status reports from last year, and my first sprouts were on March 18th! Oh boy, I better keep an eye on my containers too. The cold weather/frost hardy ones will start to sprout first. I remember checking my containers one morning last spring and there was ice on the inside of the lids with the sprouts growing happily in the containers...amazing!
