I need to get in there and organize my seeds then make a WS list. I usually start winter sewing in mid-Dec. but I got my hot little paws on snapdragons Frosted Flame ,Brighton Rock. and Bronze Dragon. One year I sewed snaps(Madame Butterfly and Butterflies...I Think) under a polytunnel in Sept and got great germination so I figured they'd do just as well in my un-heated greenhouse this year then I can spot them out in flowerbeds next spring.

Sewing a bunch of panies, violas and Calif.poppies as soon as weather clears up so I get a batch of potting mix stirred up. Should have been started earlier but we generally are too hot to start them sooner.

Going to try primulas again this year. Not much luck in the past and the ones I did get to grow got spidermites real bad. I'm ready with a systemic this time.

I traded for some huechera seeds last year and got some super looking plants from sewing so I'm on the look out with any one w/ seeds w/bright and flashing leafed heuchea seeds for WS.

Oops! Sorry,I get excited when it starts getting time to winter sew....LOL

Some of this years huechera seedlings

Tons and tons of purchased seeds and trades to winter sew. Too numerous to list. I'm a seedaholic and the economy has cuutail plant purchases.
