Stephanie, I only planted the tomatoes and tomatillos deeply. Not sure how the rest of the vegetables would like that. Don't let it rattle you on starting them from seed. It is so cheap that if they don't sprout just throw some more seeds in. Easy and fun... I am hooked.

Yes, this year I grew everything in pots. It was strictly experimental. The okra, peppers, indeterminate tomatoes (both Porter and Gardeners Delight), Ravayya eggplant and Spacemaster cucumbers are still delivering. I tried for a second planting of green beans but had limited success.

Hi Colie ~ I'm glad to see you around. I started the wintersowing around the first of Feb here. What zone are you in? This picture shows the jugs sitting up on shelves as I had two little stray dogs that were sweet but pesky. I have since found good homes for them both. 8 )) I worried too about fireants moving into the jugs. Being on shelves stopped that too.

Anyway ~ the jugs "ain't purdy" but far better than the clutter indoors.
