Winter Sowing Update
Despite the unseasonably cold weather, I’ve been checking the seven containers that haven’t germinated yet every day vainly hoping for green. I didn’t look into the other containers until I read Colleen’s post about covering her containers when the temperature drops. You’re supposed to cover them????
I ran outside and checked the containers that had seedlings. Sure enough, I’ve lost most of my seashells cosmos. Good thing I have a backup packet of seeds to be direct sown in my garden at home in May. I can transplant some of them to my plot at Rutgers Gardens if needed.

I actually need to update my post, but after everything thawed I noticed that my 'Sensation' cosmos sprouts didn't fare as well as I'd hoped. I think I only have four sprouts left. I'll just have to direct sow them. But of all the stuff I could have lost, I'm okay with losing those. Had I lost the buddleias or echinacea pardoxa, I would have been crying!
Glad to hear that yours made it through the weird weather. Hopefully, we're done with that for this year, eh? :-)
