Hi Jen, You should use potting mix. Garden soil gets compacted . If you label your containers with a china marker the sun doesn't fade it.
Yes I definitely did this year. Only potting soil. Although it wasn’t a total failure I think potting soil definitely yields better results. 😊
This was funny to watch 😂
I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁
❤️🌸 Love hollyhocks too! hopefully you will show them when they bloom
I sure did. I have a bunch of vlogs and garden tours that I did last summer and the ones in this video grew beautifully especially the creme de cassis. I’ve just started new jugs this year with new varieties of hollyhocks I’ve acquired. I’m excited for those.
This is great Jen.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you and your kind comment. ❤️
😂 Olive is so cute. ;)
She is even with all her sassiness 😁
Good video. You know i have done winter sowing several years mixed results. I agree dirt. I had extra seed starting soil used that, and watering and fertilizer was nightmare. One hot day, then the next cold took out most of my 2023 attempt. For sure will try again in 24 but selective with herbs, cut flowers, and perennials only.
Thank you. I always expect a few dud jugs so I’m not disappointed. But it’s just such an easy way to have some stuff started with minimal effort I enjoy giving it a go. I hope this year does wonderfully for you. 😁
JUGS! 🙌
I love Merlot lettuce 💗
Gosh you did a lot of containers 😲😅
🤣 Yep JUGS.
This is the first I’ve grown Merlot lettuce and it’s beautiful. I put it in a place I hope it won’t go to seed too quickly.
Cute thumbnail, can't wait to eat your garden
Thank you my beautiful girl. I can’t wait to share my garden with you. ❤️😘
Happy for your successes. I am winter sowing for first time this winter. It was great seeing what works for you, asI have planted a lot of the same things. Did it seem like your jugs were awfully dry? Do you water during the winter?
Thank you so much. And I don’t usually have to water that much during the winter. Once spring rolls around and the days get warmer is when I water the jugs a bit more. I just keep an eye on them and as long as there’s condensation on the inside of the jugs, they seem to be ok to me.
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 !!!!
Well, thank you so much for trying. I appreciate any support that you can give me and that includes watching and clicking the like button. Thanks so much for sticking with me. This year I’ve got big plans and I can’t wait to share them. 😊
My marigolds didn’t do well that in the winter jugs. But cosmos did great. I did borage It’s the first time for growing that so not for sure. My tomatoes did well. Peppers were hot and miss. My anise hyssop and lemon balm did amazing. So much fun. Happy growing.
It seems like certain things can be hit or miss for me. I’ve found snapdragons and hollyhocks do well which is great because I love them. Guess I’ll try tomatoes and peppers again next year. It’s just so much fun when you open them and see all the fun things. 😊
I love Olive!
Yes me too. She’s definitely got a huge personality. She’s the loudest and chattiest of them all that’s for sure.
I tried winter sowing this year and i tried doubling up with seeds inside. and i ended up frying my seedling from inside because it was winter and then +30 for no reason for 3 days while i was trying to harden off. and I at least have the winter sowing back up! I had a yarrow started and i completely killed them. but! I have a jug with some plants so ill still have some!
It’s definitely a method that can be hit or miss at least that’s been my experience so far. I really enjoy it though. I think when they do well they make very strong plants. The stuff that didn’t do well I’ll try again next year. The weather was definitely bipolar where I live to. In the same week it was in the 20s at night and over 80 one day. And that was March. Some seedlings just didn’t stand a chance. Happy growing to you. 😊
Once you get yarrow established you will always have yarrow. My neighbors planted it years ago in a wildflower bed along our mutual property line. Now it makes up 50% of my lawn in the backyard. It out competes the grass for space.
I think this video gave me anxiety because I am overwhelmed with tomato and other plants here and looking at all you have to plant is far worse
I’m just taking one day at a time and planting as much as I can wherever I can. I’m over halfway through the jugs already and today I’m planting around 200 tomatoes and peppers. I did at one point though look at it all and think I was a bit crazy. Then I thought Nah this is so much fun. 😊
it looked like there were still some baby strawflower plants in the container! strange that they didn't germinate well, I had the most success this year with winter sowing strawflowers
Yes I did pull the tiny amount that did germinate out and plant them. I resowed more seeds and still not great germination so I think it might have been my seeds. I’ll try again next year. 😁
Wormwood? You planning on making absinthe?
I hadn’t thought about doing that but now you’ve got me thinking that’s a fun idea. 🤣.
Is Olive an Australorp? She sounds just like mine. Her name is Pepper. Most of my Winter sown seeds failed this year. It was suddenly 80s and high winds. Two days of that did them in. 😢
That’s so funny. Another one of mine is named Pepper too. I think she is but I’m not certain. She came from a clutch of fertilized eggs from a nearby farm when one of my original girls went broody. She sure looks like it and she is the loudest of them all. She loves to have conversations with everyone. 🤣Her eggs are the color of an Australorp as well. So my guess is yes she is.
I’m sorry but I disagree - seeds will at least sprout in garden soil. There is no temperate plant which requires specialist soil at spouting stage, even acid loving plants will sprout in standard garden soil. If nothing at all came up I’d be asking about the seed viability and whether the containers went bone dry.
Please note later in the video so many of the plants that did sprout looked under watered too.
You’re right. There could’ve been a number of reasons why they didn’t germinate. And watering is definitely not one of my strong suits. I’ll admit that. 😁
The question mark one looks like dahlias.
Cool. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll be putting it in the ground this weekend and we’ll see what happens. 😊
looks like many of your jugs just needed water... thank you for your channel.. just found you
Yes that definitely could have been the case. I’m notoriously known for not being a waterer. So glad you’ve found me. I hope you stick around. I’ve got big plans for this season. 😊
Keep them out of the sun, North side of the house
Thank you 😊
@@jencordial No problem. I'm learning too, and saw a winter sowing tips video by growit buildit and that's one of his big recommendations.
@jeffmeyers3837 I always appreciate any helpful tips.
It‘s a weed and not borage, unfortunately!
Well dang. Thanks for letting me know. Good thing I’ve already started some more seeds. 😊
5 minutes in and she still don’t want us to see oh now I see why….. I think she’s murdering what made it
Hello, what a stupid video for people who want to learn about winter sowing. She put her seeds in “garden soil” which her soil can be 75% different from anyone’s else’s. She doesn’t use potting soil which is the “game changer” for the entire world. Half her seeds died, I wonder why?
Hello. This wasn’t really a teaching video. Just a reveal of how things looked inside the jugs. I have one where I show how I start my winter Sowing. I like to experiment sometimes and then show the wins and the failures. So now I know a better way to do things and so will people who watch. I hope you have a beautiful day. 😊
cool, what did you learn
I learned I need to keep the brassica’s separate from the spring jugs so I open them sooner. And to not use any or as much garden soil to start in. Hope this helps.
