This was so fun, loving to see the grand opening and the foliage popping into the spotlight so beautifully. Love your glee, the flower list and seed packets, and planting tips. So cute as you finished the front bed and your puppy sat beside you staring politely into the camera at her audience
I tried to subscribe , but , RUclips says I have too many subscriptions !!!! Keep making gardening videos and I'll keep watching !!!! Thank you very much !!!!
You are like a kid at Christmas! I love it and I’m very impressed. I’ve not had that good of luck with winter sowing and I’ve certainly never had anything look like that! I’m envious of that Dara. I’ve never gotten that to germinate.
that's interesting, it's more of a direct sow in the heat kind of thing in my opinion. It's related to Queen Anne's Lace so I do best with it when I get a few to start inside and then scatter seeds every few weeks when it's warm. It's been so cold here I won't scatter seed until June at least.
@@TheImpatientGardener I am too, it's so funny but it's easier to give them enough attention when they're indoors. I always forget to water where I sow so this year, I'm waiting till I have irrigation done before throwing any seeds around.
I love this method. But now I don't know what to do with all these plants. It's a good thing I have a lot of garden friends 😃 Ammi never failed to germinate for me. I found that good seed quality is soooo important! It actually will reseed as well, not too aggressively though.
I JUST discovered winter sowing videos a few weeks ago.. LOVE your version especially.. Ill be checking in a lot! I'm in SC 7b newly called 8a but still have 7b frost time etc so I'm going with that. My dad was a farmer in Georgia, I taught HS English in California 25 years visitng my gardening mother here in SC all these summers. Now I've been gardening about 16 years, so glad to learn of winter sowing
This was very exciting. Every time you opened one up I was saying “ta-da” with you. They look fantastic. Just beautiful and healthy. You’ve got me sold on this method for sure.
I've watched almost all your videos and this one wins the prize. I've watched this multiple times. It makes me smile every time. I have been winter sowing for 5plus years. I used milk jugs but noticed the clear jugs you used produced such healthy looking seedings. Now I use clear when I have them. Yes. I get better results. And seeds seem to germinate faster. ( I experimented same seed in clear vs milk.) However - FULL SUN can burn the bigger plant leaves much easier if the clear jugs are not opened. 😊
I'm loving watching you open the plants... It's like watching a kid get everything they wanted for Christmas. I needed to experience the simple and sincere joy you had in this video. I didn't have any delphinium germinate either.
I love winter sowing as well. It's very rewarding. When I learned about it on RUclips just one piece of tape at the front is needed. There's no need to seal it all the way around. Such fun!
I think it might depend on where you are also. I am trying this for the first time. I am in California and I think they will need too much water if partially taped
Well I'm convinced! I've seen this method on several channels over the years; but your really successful and happy planting jugs make me want to empty every plastic bottle in the house and sow my seeds... NOW!
I started my winter sowing I early February here in North Georgia, zone 7b and 8a. Most of my seeds did sprout but did not move far from tiny 2 leaves. We still get some nights in early 30 and day temp. Is in 50's to 60's. Do I need to do anything or just need to wait?
I sow this way lobelia ,which germinate very long time and this year decided to sow more flowers. Because I live in dump climate I leave lids on my bottles just make holes in them.Soon my windowsills will be full of vegetables seeds in pots so growing flowers in bottles outside does save my space. I love your dog 🙂🙂😍
@@greatgardensforall I just had peace of mind that seeds are safe 🙂 Maybe next year will try to leave a couple of bottles no lids,gardening is about experimenting 🙂 Do you grow vegetables this way as well?
How anyone could have put a thumbs down is mind blowing. This is such great information and I appreciate it very much. Each one you opened was like opening a present! 🙌🏻😍
Great success and so satisfying. I only planted two bottles of sweet peas and got 6 plants. For a newbie, I was happy and will definitely do more next year. I would never have thought to try this method until I saw your video. So glad I did. Kathy
I'm from North Jersey born n raised but now am living over the border in PA. This is a good idea for my Cosmos cuz they gave me issues. I was only using these jug domes for my veggies but ima try it for my flowers
@@TheAdhdGardener Man! I wish I knew! I turned my kitchen into a greenhouse, and with three kids and a full time job, it has turned my house upside-down! But now I am looking forward to doing this next year! It looks so amazing (and so little work!) I'm impressed! It's too late to start now, right?
@@KS-ys8vu in From Newark in Jersey but am chillen in the Poconos now. Do u have a backyard or balcony? The leafy greens start asap. The brassicas may bolt from the warmer weather by the time they reach maturity stage. If they don't the crowns will just be super super small.
You literally are like a lil girl at xmas. Your happiness opening each one just makes me soooo excited for this. I just started about 15 jugs yest. And they are sitting in garden bed with about 3 foot snow surrounding them. I keep think omg should I bring them in. Lol . Im not. Anyways wonderful. Xoxo dana from pa zone 5b
Wow, wonderful to see how well all of your plantings did. I tried the winter sowing for the first this year but was not very successful. Over sown and opened too soon. I’m inspire to try again next year after seeing all the seedlings you have.
Thank you for this video! Your enthusiasm rubbed off onto me and I am ready to get out there and garden! While I can't winter sow now, I can start saving my water bottles all summer and be prepared for getting an early, easier start next January!
Little bouquets fluffing out of the bottles each time you open them - really IS like Christmas! Your efforts were so successful, and I look forward to seeing these plants mature, and learning more about each one.
Two different gloves ☺️😊😏 love it! Looks like the jugs came out pretty well, sometimes I cut the bottom off and pin them directly on the ground like a cloche in early spring to get alyssum started.
It's good to know that it's not too late to do some stratification! I'm not too far from you (I am in North Jersey). This was so much fun to watch. It's like watching a kid at Christmas!
Hello 🌺🌸🌿 the plants look wonderful. You have a large amount for a whole lot less than buying plants. Can’t wait to see them grow and bloom. Hopefully the weather will improve and will be the right temps. Looking forward to your summer garden.
Loved watching you open your winter sowing containers! I did WS for the first time this year, primarily just veggies, but I'm so excited to try native perennials and a bunch of annual flowers next season! It really is like Christmas. Your no dig bed is coming along, and your pup is so sweet.
I swear she smiles. Hahaha. I hope winter sowing works in zone 8, because I am saving my gallon containers. I just can’t wait! Your look amazing. Tfs. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I did this method early March this year after seeing it on your channel. My seedlings are not as big as yours but they are way advanced over anything I would get if I were to do direct in ground after frost, and so healthy looking. Thank you for sharing this amazing method.
I love it! I will let the neighbors see the plastic reused bottles, give them ideas ;) This is very exciting. I started a few different ways as the water jugs are precious for water here in California. Sowing seeds are the Best feeling when they are born! Yeehaw!
I love that you add the bloopers at the end. I am in Long Island , relatively close in a 7A. WIll be doing the winter sowing this coming season to save $$ on all the flowers i want
Oh, am I excited now to try this seedling method! Thank you so much! I can see it makes you very happy and satisfied😄🌸🌷🌹☀️ what kind or brand of mulch did you use? I’ve been looking for that grade forever!
After watching your video I’ve decided to Winter sow this year. I have seen other videos on winter sowing but when you planted what you over wintered, that is what made me decide to subscribe. I haven’t seen anyone else plant them. That was one question that I had and you answered it without me even asking. 👍 Good video. I enjoyed your excitement when opening the containers. So like me. 😀 I’m looking forward to watching your videos. Let’s get sowing!!!👍
OK Julia, I am sold! I definitely want to try winter seeding next year. I love your enthusiasm. It is contagious! I can't wait to see your beautiful garden as the growing season progresses. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening as well as your knowledge. We are growing with you!
that's great! you are so happy, it makes me smile. My efforts were not that successful, I think my containers dried out and I wasn't checking for that. I got tiny snap dragons and some malva, but that's it. I will have to buy transplants from the garden centre this year.
Started winter sowing this year. Tomatoes are about 4 in since mid Feb! Zone 6b. Also, sowed watermelon on Mar 23, and peppers, onions, zinnias and marigolds in March. Using strong southern sun in our breezeway and watering as needed. They are doing better than if they were inside. So cool.
Love this! I've wanted to try winter sowing. Maybe next winter. I live in zone 6 and winters can be quite cold. Live your garden companion. I have 3 of my own 😊
I've been gardening for nearly 30 years, and I'd never heard of it. I will definitely try it soon. Pocono mountains zone 6A. By the way your dog is absolutely adorable !!!
I love your reaction to each opened container!! I just planted a bunch of milk jugs, and they are buried under a foot of snow, so I needed some Spring inspiration. You gave it to me!!
Wow! You have some snazzy looking plants there. Definitely going to try this. I've been saving some clear dog treat containers that should work well. They are cylinder shaped with a lid, no cutting , just drain and rain holes needed.
Dear Iulia I subscribed to your channel a year ago and I absolutely love your gardening style.I'm from Eastern Europe living in Canada Quebec since 2003 and I can see many similarities in your gardening style with mine.I purchased many of the books you presented in some of your earlier videos.I wojld 'Ike myself to start the winter planting ,I garden in zone 5b but I'm not sure how and when you have to bring out those plastics bottles to your backyard in order to avoid the freezing of plants.Can you give me your tips and tricks on this? Thanking in advance.Ildiko
So exciting. Thanks for revealing what some of your seedling were because some of my labels unfortunately wore off! That mild climate just before spring caused a growth spurt for so many seedlings. Wintersower for life!

Thanks Laura! I love it, but now I have to plant all of them. Sounds daunting 😩
Such great results! Kuddos to you and winter sowing!
It's like opening presents! I'm so glad you got a chance to plant out in this video!
I normally don't get excited about dogs. But, your dog is ADORABLE! I could love him. 💗🐕
Love your videos, enthusiasm and expertise!
Wow you did something right to get those results. 🎉I plan to check out the seed distributor as all your seed sprouted and that is amazing.
Wow...nice method for the seedlings

Hi Barbara! I tried that but the bottles opened during one of our wind storms. 😊
I think it might depend on where you are also. I am trying this for the first time. I am in California and I think they will need too much water if partially taped
Lovely! The excitement of seeing one’s efforts growing and thriving is unmatched. And the love your pup has for you is so obvious. What a good boy! 😊
