Got outside to finish the last of our winter sowing. 💚 Planted sunflowers, tomatoes, and green beans. Also saw the first robin (American) of the year in our yard. 🥰

A close up of a cut-open two liter clear plastic bottle with blue tape wrapped around it and filled with wet potting soil. In the back is a white plastic sign with AGASTACHE NEPETOIDES written in grease pencil, and at left is a very tiny light green shoot with two very small leaves poking up out of the soil.
For today’s photo we have LOOOOOOOOK YOU GUYYYSSSSSS…

Amaranthus
Cosmos
I had a few vacant minutes so I sled along some more #WinterSowing
Amaranthus, which I have never grown, but the variety name is “love lies bleeding” which is simply too Gothic to resist.
And Cosmos which are seeds that I collected from last year’s flowers. #GardenJournal2026.

Four pictures of seedlings taken through the top of plastic 2-liter soda bottles. Green Milkweed, Asclepias viridis. Three medium-sized seedlings with round, sort of thick spring-green leaves.
Fuzzy Phacelia, Phacelia hirsuta, four? seedlings with tiny round blue-green cotyledon leaves.
Standing Cypress, Ipomopsis rubra has long skinny cotyledons and one plant has true leaves that are forked like little tridents.
White Vervain, Vervena urticifolia. Little triangular leaves, looks just like Mountain mint to me. These seeds were from a volunteer in my garden. The dog stepped on this container and smashed the top in, so it's crooked. Oklahoma Northern Crosstimbers ecoregion 29a, March 7 2026.
Hey gardeners, I hope everyone made it through last night's tornados without damage. Some of my winter sown seedlings: Green Milkweed, Fuzzy Phacelia, Standing Cypress and White Vervain. #nativeplants #wintersowing 🌱 #gardening

Winter sowing which is a mix of native plants and perennials
Winter sowing update
They've been righted
With temps of 10C & rain overnight and into tomorrow, I'll be moving them to a shadier & more sheltered location once the rain stops

I don’t know that I should be - it’s only just about time that stratification should be done for some of them, and things may get moving during these next warm days. Anyway, natures has been doing this much longer than I have. Wait and see…

A view of a weathered deck with a long line of various containers with different seeds. Several containers are still partly buried by a large drift of ice and snow
Starting tomorrow, we'll have about a week of temperatures above zero degrees, accompanied by a lot of rain
Then long range forecasts suggest that cold temperatures and snow will return by mid-March
These poor little winter sowing jugs are in for a bumpy few weeks

#WinterSowing and #NativePlant tip, the deep plastic boxes that grapes come in sometimes make amazing winter sowing containers.

First sign of spring in my garden! Winter sowing is showing signs of life! My little babehs. Yarrow, echinacea and clematis were the first to pop up! #seedlings #wintersowing #gardening

A brown shipping box with tape labeled “David Austin Roses” sits on a kitchen table, waiting to be opened
A collection for four small seed propagations sits on the edge or a cluttered kitchen table.
A collection of juice cartons used for winter sowing sits on a red deck, up against a White House. 7 jugs have green seedlings inside while 5 off to the right are just soil at this stage.
Me after buying a new home: I won’t plant much this year, I’ll wait and see how the light and wind and water behave.

Trying winter sowing, might be a bit late but here we are. I have a few more to start but the weather was starting to turn so had to stop for the day. #pnwgardening #wintersowing #hardyperennials #apothecarygarden #mermaidgantt

Circular metal sieve, resting on a bucket, holding large chunks of wood, sticks and stems sifted from potting soil. Within the bucket is the sifted soil that will be used for more milk jug seed sowing. This will be added to my kitchen scraps bin and allowed to compost in my, currently unfilled, raised beds.
🤦♀️ And I wonder why my winter sown seed last year had less than great seed to soil contact = germination.
Sifting this year. 🌱 #nativeplants #gardening #wintersowing

Motivated by the #WildOnes event on Saturday to get my #wintersowing going.... we still have time up here in the great ❄️ north. All #nativeplants, bien sûr.
Fellow Michigan 😶🌫️, what do you do with your old Lume bags? I have so many! The triple top fold worked great.

Labeled milk jugs
Another round of #wintersowing for the old #GardenJournal2026
Hoping this is enough time to cold stratify the butterfly weed and columbine, but $1.79 seeds are worth the risk.

Winter sowing my perennials!❄️🌱
These cold loving seeds need a chill period to germinate, so they’re spending the winter outdoors to sprout in spring. Can’t wait to see what grows!🌱😁

Collected seed snapdragons and Hudson Valley seed snapdragons. It’s been very cold (in the teens), but they should be fine.

The clear plastic domed tops of two seed starter trays are shown with blue tape and brown twine wrapped around them. The near one is almost buried in snow, while the far one is more visible due to being close to the wall of an enclosed porch that has sheltered it. Under the porch can be seen assorted junk and some English ivy at left. In the foreground, many seedling trees rise out of the snow.
Not much in the way of a picture for today - I was outside shoveling for hours & didn’t remember to take one, and then once the wind got blowing I was too much of a coward to really go back out. 😂 But shown is the current status of some of my seed trays!

Snowy landscape with small and large pots covered in 3” snow among the bare raspberry canes in a small backyard.

The pool full of soda bottle planters completely covered in snow. You can't see them, just rings of round holes that are the tops of the open bottles, and some wire garden fencing around the pool. These get some sunlight in the morning, so the shadow of a wheelbarrow cuts across the pool.
I finally put my boots on. #gardening #wintersowing
