This will be my third year Winter Sowing and I have varying success the last two years. I have sown annuals, perennial & veg's in milk jugs and various other recycled containers.

I've decided 3 things for next year: 1). I'm going to try to only use the sturdy, square-ish 1/2 gallon jugs that my cranberry juice comes in because I can cut them open on three sides and they will still stay closed by themselves (no hassling with tape, or slots, or twisty ties).

2). I will continue to put my containers in my old laundry baskets with the holes drilled in the bottoms. This works so well because it's easy to move everything if I need to, the jugs stay closed and they won't blow away.

3). I'm only going to do veg's & annuals, and not too many. I was so lazy this year never got around to planting some of my WS perennials (still plan to though, probably, maybe).

When to sow is still a little tricky for me, but probably sometime in late February / early March.
