My 8 year old Granddaughter and I winter sowed for the 1st time today because YOU convinced us!
BEST. NEWS. EVER. keep me posted on how it turns out 😉
Love your videos and all your tips! Yes to a Winter Sowing community 🤩
Yes! Thank you!
Kim, you are such a joy to watch. Count me in on the Winter Sowing Community. 😍🌼
Thank you so much. I am so excited to know that you found happiness in watching the video :-) I am on a mission now to create this community. I so appreciate you watching and for your kind words. You made my day!
Love the reusing of plastic. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Excited to try winter sowing this year! FYI, they have big spray bottles in the cleaning section at Home Depot, that’s where I got mine. Hello from Charlotte NC!
THANK YOU! I’ll go get one from there.👋 hey from Mebane (not too far away). I lived in Lake Wylie when I was little and loved it. 😊
I love your video. So real and humorous 16:58
It’s me daily. Lolilol
Hey Kim, winter sowing is such a fun way to germinate seeds! I've done it for several winters (not yet this year ... hope not too late) and some of those perennials still come back each year! Would love to be a part of your "community".
I love to hear this. And absolutely hopefully I will have the community up this week. At least that’s my goal. What zone are you in? I haven’t even started my first container yet this year and I am in 7B/8A I always start mine between February 15 and finish up the first week of March and have had fine results.
@@thesoutherndaisyllc I'm just in Chapel Hill, so right around the corner. Would love to have a coffee in Mebane (my treat) and talk gardening.
Hey Kim! When is "too late" to start winter sowing? I didn't stumble across this concept until the past week or so and now I've badgered all of my friends and family to save their containers for me haha!
Count me in! ❄️
Yay!!!
I love your videos! I wanted to start winter sowing this year, so this video was so helpful!! I would love to be part of your winter sowing community!☺️
Thank you so very much! This helps me tons! Ok I'm gonna get to work on this :-)
Kim, I have enjoyed your vlogs, thank you for the info. You inspired me and I have been aquiring my supplies thru the fall into the winter. I am in zone 8 b and finally got 16 jugs sowed today, yay.
I can't wait to see what comes up!
This is amazing!!!! Tell me what you sowed ⭐️and then promise to keep me updated on what happens!
I would love to ❤
Kim, I used a glue gun to make the holes in my jugs. It worked great!
I tried a glue gun and mine sealed the holes back up lol 😂 only me…. I’m so excited it worked for you.
I loved that you use your teeth for a tool. Made me LOL! I do that too and it drives my hubby crazy 😂
😬🤪🤣
A winter sowing community sounds great!
I think so too! I’m working on it
i would love to be part of winter sowing
In the works 😆
I love your videos!
Thank you so much! I love that you are here :-) And by the way the lab face on your picture makes for the happiest day ever!
im in!!!!!!!
Love it!!!!😊
@@thesoutherndaisyllc I have no idea how I found your channel but I tell you I am blessed by you. there is something about your spirit that truly speaks to mine. thank you for sharing the gift of YOU with us! Have a super day and I look forward to the growth of your garden as I do my own.
I saw your video on winter sowing several times. I liked the fact that we can use any store bought soil and we can save the clear containers and use them again a few times. I will let you know the results. This is my first year doing winter sowing period.
Thank you Kim.
Hey, one thing I do want to say be sure that it is a potting mix not just any soil and also know that I recommend the miracle grow in the yellow bag potting mix. Best of luck to you keep me posted on how it goes. 😊
I'm so glad to find someone else in North Carolina!! I'm in Benson. A winter sowing community sounds great. As far as the zone goes, I feel it's more important to know the frost dates but as long as we're gardening I guess it doesn't matter. Thanks Kim!!
Yes I agree. I’m big on the first date more so then the zone but both are important to know. Yay for NC peeps. I was just in benson 😊
The best explained tutorial on winter sowing. Thank you so much!! I started my winter sowing yesterday & today here in zone 8, Dallas, TX. I also used the burning tool and works awesome. 👍🏼. Yikes, I did not place a coffee filter at the bottom. Such a great idea. What I plan on doing is placing 2-3 coffee filter or a thin layer of cardboard underneath the jugs.
Yay thank you so much. ☺️
Time to winter sow again ! I live in CLE so, I am ready to plant 🪴! Thx ! Last year was a huge success !
Is that Cleveland? I’m so happy you winter sowed last year and it was a big success. What worked great for you? Any new ones you are trying out?
I have my containers and seeds! I now have to get the soil! Today was beautiful and I wanted to get outside and work a little on this. My husband is on dialysis, which we do at home, and we’ve been having a lot of problems sticking one of his sites. So, we were much later getting started today. Treatment time is 4 - 5 hrs, so no outside anything happened here today. That’s ok. His health and well being come first! Loved this video! Thank you!

Lisa, I know that must be tough some days for both of you. The great thing about gardening is there is always tomorrow or when you are able. Wishing you a great day and time to enjoy your winter sowing soon. ❤️
@@thesoutherndaisyllc 💖Thank you for your kind words! They are so appreciated! There are many more bright, sunny days ahead!
SO helpful and informative, YES!!
I am so glad. Thank you so much for telling me.
I enjoy your videos. I tried winter sewing for the first time last year for the first time with only moderate success. This year I'm going to pay more attention to the moisture. Thanks for all your information. It's nice to get my hands in the dirt in the winter. I do all mine in the basement where it's warm and then carry them outside.
See this is what makes me so happy to hear! I'm glad you have a mission to find that success and try again. I was thinking I had a few that didn't germinate last year and I wouldn't retry them (they really weren't my fav) but I have to give it a go once more! Let me know how it goes for you! What are you going to sew this year? What was your favorite last year?
@thesoutherndaisyllc my favorite was black eyed Susan. Mostly because it was the only flower that worked for me. I did get a couple of tomatoes also. I'm sticking with jugs this year. The clear totes were not a success. I look forward to seeing the success we both have this year
💗💕😍
Thank you so much I love all the 😀
Hi, Ill be starting my winter sowing soon, enjoyed your video, Happy gardening, Ann 🙂
Hey Ann, i hope you have great success 🌱. Thank you for watching 😊
You are such an inspiration Kim! Your garden is like a dream come true. I'm wondering if the tip of a hot glue gun (without any glue in it) would work?? 🥴
Thank you so much. Yes it does work for others. It didn’t for me it sealed it back up lol. Try it out and let me know how it works for you
@@thesoutherndaisyllc it didn't work for me either 🤣
This was so informative!!!! Thank you so much!!! ❤️
You are so welcome! I am glad you felt it was helpful! :-)
Hi, Kim! Thanks for your great videos and inspiration.
Is winter sowing right for any seeds? Or would you set aside some types for indoors starting only?
You are so welcome. I am always going to try winter sowing everything however if you only have a short supply and need to ensure germination (as much as possible) then start some indoors. I do a little of both just because I am out of control COMPLETELY :-)
Hiya! Loved your video and excited to give it a go. Can you please explain what you do during winter? We get a lot of rain so I presume the bottles would fill up with water at points when left outside is that ok and part of the process? If no rain for a while should they be watered? Thank you!
Yes of course! I’m filming that video tomorrow! I’ll post it this week ☺️
Have you ever winter sewed Lisianthis seeds? I never hear anyone mention them. I trying them this year from seeds I saved last year. I hope it works.
I sure haven't. I am excited to have something new to research and maybe try also.
Hello Kim, I also Live in North Carolina Zone 8 in Charlotte, what city do you live near? I just started my jug gardening and will post my video on Friday. Love seeing other creators near me.
Hey! It's great to meet you! I am east of Greensboro near Chapel Hill :-) I used to live in Lake Wylie when I was much younger. I loved it so much. Charlotte is a great place to call home.
have you noticed if plants grow better in clear containers or the more whitish one (like milk containers) are the tall ones or short ones better? I see so many containers used haha..I can't wait to try some perennials this way
So GREAT question. No i have not noticed any difference in the clear or translucent. If you watch my reveal part 2 I discuss this and show the difference of the same seed in one vs the other (regular jug vs a water bottle). I’ll make a video about this also maybe today. I found the little water bottles like you drink from dried out so fast and were a pain to keep from dying. .
@@thesoutherndaisyllc I think I might be watching it now lol, I am watching one of your winter sowing videos right now HA ..lovin it. Thanks so much
Hello, I am brand new to your channel today, and you have me jazzed to try this. I noticed you throw away the lids. What keeps the seeds/ seedlings warm enough if the lids are off? We live in 7b but high elevation (4-5 thousand ft) and we do get snow on occasion. Thank you
Welcome!!!!! I’m glad you are here! The lids on would prevent them from getting any moisture from nature (rain,snow etc) which is vital to their survival. The goal is to allow them to freeze or stay cold as they would in nature. When the soil warms the seeds know it’s time to wake up and grow. Even if it feels like it’s too early for plants to survive in the containers you can trust the process and leave them. The goal is not trying to keep them warm you are letting nature do its thing, letting them freeze. One of my next videos should help explain this better. Great question. By the way snow is great too. You leave your containers out in it and let them be cold it’s all part of the incredible process. 😊
@@thesoutherndaisyllc Excellent explanation! Thank you for clarifying!!
can you start veg seeds this way?
YES!!!!
