WINTER SOWING REVEAL 2023 

Yes I definitely did this year. Only potting soil. Although it wasn’t a total failure I think potting soil definitely yields better results. 😊

I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁

Thank you so much. I appreciate you and your kind comment. ❤️

I sure did. I have a bunch of vlogs and garden tours that I did last summer and the ones in this video grew beautifully especially the creme de cassis. I’ve just started new jugs this year with new varieties of hollyhocks I’ve acquired. I’m excited for those.

She is even with all her sassiness 😁

🤣 Yep JUGS. This is the first I’ve grown Merlot lettuce and it’s beautiful. I put it in a place I hope it won’t go to seed too quickly.

Thank you. I always expect a few dud jugs so I’m not disappointed. But it’s just such an easy way to have some stuff started with minimal effort I enjoy giving it a go. I hope this year does wonderfully for you. 😁

It seems like certain things can be hit or miss for me. I’ve found snapdragons and hollyhocks do well which is great because I love them. Guess I’ll try tomatoes and peppers again next year. It’s just so much fun when you open them and see all the fun things. 😊

Thank you my beautiful girl. I can’t wait to share my garden with you. ❤️😘

Yes me too. She’s definitely got a huge personality. She’s the loudest and chattiest of them all that’s for sure.

Thank you so much. And I don’t usually have to water that much during the winter. Once spring rolls around and the days get warmer is when I water the jugs a bit more. I just keep an eye on them and as long as there’s condensation on the inside of the jugs, they seem to be ok to me.

Well, thank you so much for trying. I appreciate any support that you can give me and that includes watching and clicking the like button. Thanks so much for sticking with me. This year I’ve got big plans and I can’t wait to share them. 😊

It’s definitely a method that can be hit or miss at least that’s been my experience so far. I really enjoy it though. I think when they do well they make very strong plants. The stuff that didn’t do well I’ll try again next year. The weather was definitely bipolar where I live to. In the same week it was in the 20s at night and over 80 one day. And that was March. Some seedlings just didn’t stand a chance. Happy growing to you. 😊

Once you get yarrow established you will always have yarrow. My neighbors planted it years ago in a wildflower bed along our mutual property line. Now it makes up 50% of my lawn in the backyard. It out competes the grass for space.

Yes I did pull the tiny amount that did germinate out and plant them. I resowed more seeds and still not great germination so I think it might have been my seeds. I’ll try again next year. 😁

I’m just taking one day at a time and planting as much as I can wherever I can. I’m over halfway through the jugs already and today I’m planting around 200 tomatoes and peppers. I did at one point though look at it all and think I was a bit crazy. Then I thought Nah this is so much fun. 😊

That’s so funny. Another one of mine is named Pepper too. I think she is but I’m not certain. She came from a clutch of fertilized eggs from a nearby farm when one of my original girls went broody. She sure looks like it and she is the loudest of them all. She loves to have conversations with everyone. 🤣Her eggs are the color of an Australorp as well. So my guess is yes she is.

I hadn’t thought about doing that but now you’ve got me thinking that’s a fun idea. 🤣.

Cool. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll be putting it in the ground this weekend and we’ll see what happens. 😊

Yes that definitely could have been the case. I’m notoriously known for not being a waterer. So glad you’ve found me. I hope you stick around. I’ve got big plans for this season. 😊

Please note later in the video so many of the plants that did sprout looked under watered too.

You’re right. There could’ve been a number of reasons why they didn’t germinate. And watering is definitely not one of my strong suits. I’ll admit that. 😁

Well dang. Thanks for letting me know. Good thing I’ve already started some more seeds. 😊

Thank you 😊

@@jencordial No problem. I'm learning too, and saw a winter sowing tips video by growit buildit and that's one of his big recommendations.

@jeffmeyers3837 I always appreciate any helpful tips.

Hello. This wasn’t really a teaching video. Just a reveal of how things looked inside the jugs. I have one where I show how I start my winter Sowing. I like to experiment sometimes and then show the wins and the failures. So now I know a better way to do things and so will people who watch. I hope you have a beautiful day. 😊

I learned I need to keep the brassica’s separate from the spring jugs so I open them sooner. And to not use any or as much garden soil to start in. Hope this helps.
