I had a really stinky gardening season this year. I tore a major muscle in my leg right after I got some of my stuff in the ground this spring. Then we had a really wet spring with my strawberries underwater for the most part and me in a cast unable to reach them. After it dried out, everything sprouting baked to a crisp in an early June heatwave. I have had tomatoes and need to get out and start cleaning up after last week's frost.
I've been collecting milk jugs and 2L soda bottles to get ready for my Winter Sowing. I need to prep the containers (burn drainage holes and cut the tops). Maybe look for some end of season potting soil sales. I don't normally plant in my containers until January but I know some who start as early as Dec.
Please explain further how you are doing “winter sowing”. Do you keep these jugs under a grow light? What are you sowing?
I’m starting a Square Foot Garden for vegetables next spring. I have the boxes built, but no planting mix in them yet because the garden centers are all sold out. It is not safe to plant outdoors here until May. In fact most people plant over Memorial Day around here, although you can do it earlier with protection. It would be nice to have a few seedlings ready to go out mid May.
