who is winter sowing?
What are you sowing this year? What are you most excited about?
I'm pretty excited to grow lots of seed I collected from my Mom's garden when I got to visit her this past summer for the first time in years (usually it is a winter holiday when we visit). Lots are a bit experimental, like clematis and panicle hydrangeas. Some have been very successful in the past, like bleeding heart. It was just a wonderful time walking around her garden and collecting the seeds. Planting seeds that have memories attached and growing flowers from them is a very special thing.
I've also had hybrid hellebore seeds in jugs since the summer (lid off in summer obviously) and I hope they germinate in the spring.
I wish we didn't have our privacy issues here because I'd love to do a seed swap.
