An idea for a winter seed sowing event in January

Jim Eichner (Firevicar) asked that I post this idea to DG. Let me know what you guys think and I relay your responses to him. - K59

"So I could not bring all the seeds I've collected to the Green Elephant.

I'm proposing a winter seed sowing event indoors Friday evening, say 6:30-8:30 pm January 4 or 11; or Saturday morning or afternoon on January 12.

The way I see it, we will all be ready to slit our wrists from the winter darkness. It's still a month before the NWF&G show. This event could save my LIFE!

We can collect poinsettias and use them for winter sowing. I do this every January. Cut off the poinsettia, top-sow the seed, add a little more dirt, label and you're ready for spring.

Thoughts?

Sounds fun. I've never done winter sowing, really only done vegetables from seed, and would like to learn how.

Is this only for Points.?

I think what he means (and should have said) is that he uses the soil and pots from poinsettias that have died that other people don't want anymore. Then just sows the seed right in there.

Got it
