Sequee,
Thank you for starting this thread! I, too, was getting bogged down wading through the other discussion. That said, I'm a WSing convert as of this season. In fact, I think I have the unofficial title of "WSing Cheerleader of 2010!"

Everything I started came through beautifully. Since I'm in a different Zone (9a), I'm getting ready to plant everything I WSed in January. I'm only doing veggies, 'cause I just never got around to sprinkling the flower seeds -- shoot!

Anyway, WSing is the easiest, singlemost productive seed germination process I've come across, and I don't ever want to go back to messing with lights inside again, with the exception of starting my bell pepper plants inside in January (a total timing mistake -- but a great mistake since my peppers will grow like gangbusters when they do get outside -- They're topping off at almost one foot and are about to start throwing blooms already).

I SOLD 7 of my WSed bells yesterday, and the buyer is still commenting on how healthy the seedlings are! Hoping to WS a LOT more veggies for $$ next season, only to break even on my own gardening expenses -- which means I'm selling those seedlings real cheap!

Check your local Starbucks or any other coffee shops in your area. I was hauling off milk jugs in large garbage bags, 20 at a time...

Here's another NEAT picture for your Winter Sowing inspiration!

P.S. I agree with Steph about the number of seeds per jug. Based on my experience with the tomatoes, I'll not plant more than 10 seeds per jug in the future.

STEPHANIE: You should enter that picture in the photo contest this year. Trust me -- it's a contender.

Linda
