Winter Sowing Update
Despite the cold, despite the deluge, seemingly against all odds, two more containers have sprouted. Snapdragon "Plum Blossom" is nothing special. I just think it is pretty. At least the picture is. I tried it once before with no luck. This time I hope to actually see it bloom. Since my yard had lots of shade, I'm always looking for flowers that can tolerate at least some shade. Monkshood fills the bill. Plus I love its other name: Wolfsbane.

'Plum Blossom' Snaps are very pretty! I'll have to try some monkshood next year...my yard is pretty shady too. And I agree: Wolfsbane is a great name for a plant!
Most of my unsprouted containers are still sitting here, unsprouted. Although, I did get my first wintersown tomato sprout a couple of days ago. I don't know what kind it is, since it just came in a package of mixed tomato seeds, but I'm excited nonetheless :-)
Are your sprouts still dinky, or is that just a problem I'm having? Just wondering...
Colleen, I've got a mixed bag. Some of my seedlings are growing nicely and others can't seem to get beyond the two-leaf stage. Congrats on your tomato sprout!
