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.
Perhaps have a warning to that effect in the circle?
We have so many warnings and disclaimers, already, that people have not read or not understood. People who thought that the invite code requirement means this site is private and only available to people who have been vetted - neither is true.
This is a huge reason I don't want to make "member only" circles. It is really easy for people to get a false impression of how the site works, and disclaimers and info splashed in front of people do nothing to help. It is not hard for someone to sign up, and people need to take all their posts as seriously as if the stalkers were going to see it, every time. The invite code requirement is also temporary.
