Hi, all--

It's that time of year when everyone on the Wintersowing and Perennials Forums is getting out their saved milk jugs and plastic containers and potting mix to start their 'Winter Sowing' of seeds... (If you are not familiar with the 'Winter Sowing' seed starting craze--have a look at the DG Forum http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/coldsow/all/ or http://wintersown.org/

It's an easy and no fuss way to start many seeds (especially in the middle range zones of 7,6,5 and 4) and so far I have 'Wintersowed' echinacea, liatris, columbine (for HBs), cleome with many more kinds in the works!

My wintersowing set-up thus far--

I am wondering what are your favorite Hummingbird and/or Butterfly seeds you have grown using this method??

Do tell us what you've got planned for Wintersowing this season?! I need some new ideas for my Hummingbirds and Butterflies!

Thanks. t.
