Looking forward to your updates on your seedlings. I haven't sowed mine yet this year.Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-74542192015195781112010-01-09T00:06:07.402-05:002010-01-09T00:06:07.402-05:00I read about this last year and promised myself th...I read about this last year and promised myself that I'd try it! Maybe this is the year :). I just moved recently, so this will be a limited year for growing- until I see what I have out there and get the soil in shape!<br /><br />I'm curious- with your low temperatures, how do you keep your hose from freezing!Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357951823874888877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-69580042193063397222010-01-08T09:13:45.764-05:002010-01-08T09:13:45.764-05:00What a fantastic idea - I'm so glad you re-pos...What a fantastic idea - I'm so glad you re-posted this, too! Seriously...awesome photos to go along with it. Have you considered sending it to a magazine? DM the post link to Michelle G. at Fine Gardening - she'll most likely forward it to the Editor who's in charge of the 'Twips' section (Kerry Ann) and who may want to include it....great job!!rebecca sweethttp://www.gossipinthegarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-87630073279199268722010-01-08T08:05:35.301-05:002010-01-08T08:05:35.301-05:00How interesting that you posted this this week, Ky...How interesting that you posted this this week, Kylee! I just got out the book on winter sowing I purchased from Monica, the Garden Faerie, at Spring Fling last May. I've been looking through it while house-bound from the snow. I'm going to try it on a small scale this winter--just have to start saving some milk jugs!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-3422011411700173042010-01-07T10:32:35.538-05:002010-01-07T10:32:35.538-05:00Nice!

I think it would be perfect for those hard to start varieties. <br />Also a BIG thank you for the seeds you shared with me and your pretty garden card. That is another great idea ~ making your photos into cards via Shutterfly. I may have to check into that myself. I will definitely appreciate having a piece of "My Little Acre" in my Colorado garden this year.

I've been saving my jugs and coke bottles and have my seeds ready. I am in zone 6b (upper Middle TN) when should I sow my seeds? It's 15 degrees here this week.
