Winter Sow ideas please

Sumter, SC(Zone 8a)

curious for those of you have winter sown seeds before which ones you found did well for you.

I have two skylights I saved from when we replaced them last fall and I'm going to make use of these in an area in the veggie garden (which only has broccoli and cabbage in it currently so have quite a bit of room to work with)

thoughts anyone?

Start your tomato plants by seed indoors! Give yourself 6 weeks before our last frost date. We usually start our tomato seeds at the end of February/beginning of March. This link may help: http://www.tomatodirt.com/grow-tomatoes-from-seeds.html

3 types of coneflower, panacarda, iron weed, joe pye, lantana, tritoma and perennial hibiscus thus far. I have about a dozen two liter containers I'm going to try my hand at too - the above is in last years veggie bed. Inside I've got Daturas (4 types) soon I'll start Zinnia's and Vinca... :)

Welcome to our world, You will enjoy Dave's . I like you site and think you need to add a few pictures of the swans at the cyprus pond if it still exist, It was so beautiful in the late 70s which was the last time I was there. Also my favorite cross stitch designers are from Sumter, Gloria and Pat who do Precious Moments.
I used to date a guy from there LOL

Hey Lavina! I met you at the SARU 3 years ago :)~ Tropicanna, Darius and a few others of us stayed at MaMa Gerties - that was a blast

Swan Lake is still here and I've got about 100 pic's I've taken there since moving to Sumter - I love your idea and will work on adding those (I've got about 10K pictures I've taken since '05 that I'm trying to go thru and catagorize for the new website...who knew I should have been a little more proficient at my cataloging of them lol)

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 9a)

You mean we are supposed to catalog those thousands of flower pictures??? LOL

Great site and good luck with your new business.
