Don’t ever apologize for your excitement! Shout it from the rooftops
Your giddy excitement is how I feel too! My neighbors think I’m crazy because I talk to my plants and make sure every one of them get their personal attention. Everyone gets their morning pat. My plants are also bigger then all of theirs. 😂😂
OMG Congratulations Kim what an awesome job you have done getting these going. You have every right to smile until your cheeks hurt and share your enthusiasm. Your garden is going to be unreal this season. Great work :)
Thank you so much!! That’s so sweet! 🥲
Hi Kim 🌺 . The seedlings grow well and they look amazing and they are going to be so pretty in the garden . Have a great week. 🌺🌻🌺
Thank you! You too 😉
I’ve been winter sowing for 5 years now and love it! I used milk jugs the first 3 years and had good success. The last two years I have used 3-4 inch pots to sow my seeds. I use 3 large clear storage containers that I’ve drilled holes in the bottom for drainage. You also drill holes in the clear top so the plants can get rainwater and ventilation. Just place the pots into the storage container and you have a small greenhouse. I’ve had great success with perennials, annuals, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and basil. It is such a great savings. I look forward to trying some of the seeds you sowed next year!
Tried winter sowing this past year. Awesome. Zone 8B. Instead of writing on my jugs.. bought 12" tall stake labels.. wrote specifics on stakes.. stuck in jug since top was off.. then when I planted in ground.. used same stake and stuck in ground.. Perfect.
Also, when I direct sow seed.. take colorful hula hoops..lay in garden.. fill with 3" of great soil.. scatter seeds.. top with soil.. water and great luck with Zinnias n' Cosmos..once my seeds start popping up.. I can remove hoops and move to another location.. repeat process with another flower. So festive with hoops.

Don’t you tame your joy! Let it soar sister!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ok you got me this time I’m going to give it a try. This is your best winter sowing video
Great Job!!!
I have been so looking forward to this video! I am as excited as you and what beautiful results! Love Love it Kim! 😍🌸🐝
So excited to see your results! I was very interested in your success with sweet peas! I will definitely start them that way next year.I just started this method this year but only did seeds that need cold stratification. With flowers like cosmos, zinnas, and morning glories, I just buy 1/4lb bags of seeds from American Meadows, sow them directly in the ground, and voila, I have flowers really fast. I tend to plant large areas of zinnas and cosmos, so having 10 or 20 plants that you cold sow that are a little ahead of growth...pretty time consuming. I'm also focusing more on natives - so beneficial to wildlife! Plant lots of dill and parsley - amazing what it attracts.
How fun! 🤩
I love winter sowing... I'll be doing this ALL year round. So excited for you 🌿🌻🌿
❤❤❤ wow i love winter song
Me tooooooo!
Love love watching you. It was my first year and I’m hooked
Ok so what would help you most?
Congratulations on all of your plants! I love your unveiling videos since it IS better than Christmas when you open all of your containers and see those plants in there!! Don't give up on the coneflower. My experience has been that they are a little slower to grow and the ones I was disappointed in last year, really came back looking great this year!
I truly enjoy your winter sowing videos. I finally had success with seed starting using the winter sowing method. Love it!
Your excitement makes me excited. I'm going to try your winter sowing method
Beautiful and healthy plants.
Kim, wahooooooooo 🎉!!! I had the same experience with lavendar when I opened my container. My plants are not nearly large as yours but I am in zone 6a. Not as warm here. More seeds to sow!
Those WS results were grown with love. Mine are great this year too.
YAY how exciting!!! I'm so happy for you, looking forward to watching them grow 🩷🌱🌸
This was my first year winter sowing, I watched your videos last year. I am in NY so I still have a week weeks to go. But we will see. Thanks for your videos..
That is awesome! How did they do for you?
I loooove how excited you get🤩🥰 I’m just the same!! Always love when you post a new video!💕
You're the best! Thank you for sharing this. I’m a nut lol. 😆
You have definitely inspired me to try winter sewing again!
That is so good Promise to share the results! I know you can do this!
Everything looks great and I love your enthusiasm!!! Thank you for sharing!
love it that you had such success i am going to try it for my 2025 garden I also get excited about what i grow Im glad it makes you happy too
First time viewer. Definitely not last. I tried the milk jug method last summer but didn't tape. I don't have natural talent and it was a waste of time, effort and money for me. Every year I swear it's the last for me but then spring comes around and I get that feeling. I'm beginning seed now to try to plant ahead of next spring using grow lights. We'll see. I appreciate your success. It's motivating. I'm in western NC, zone 7.
Love your videos! You singlehandedly got me into winter-sowing. Especially Mexican Sunflowers. I was just as giddy as you were while you were opening your containers! Thanks for sharing!
See this is amazing. I love that you are the same. It’s so fun and exciting and we did this. We grew this. Well of course mother nature did most of it but it’s so amazing. Thank you for sharing. You’re awesome 🤩
wow, those are beautiful. your seed sowing was a winner!!! thank you for sharing. enjoyed the video.
For those fungus nats use mosquito bits or make a tea to water with. It works really well. Love your excitement I am totally the same way.
Thanks for the tips! They are annoying! Lol
I. Am. Amazed.
Starting today
Oh my gosh!!! I’ve also had sooooo many gnats this year and never had a problem before.
Hey Kim! I sowed 19 winter co ntainers and had good life in 13. 2 are still trying to grow in the greenhiouse and pitched the rest of them in my garden. Always exciting to see yours!
I am as excited as you and I thank you for this video. I think I will record opening mine as well. Might be my first video I have the guys to put up on my channel. Nerves stops me every time.. well self consciousness stops me to be honest. Have a Blessed day Kim!
Oh my god I love this!!!!!!
Yay!!!!!!!!!! I'm doing mine tomorrow ❤❤❤
Good job. Love your enthusiasm
Love your excitement and enthusiasm! Excellent results. I am going to try a test to compare one seed WS, and the other using the snail method popped into a container. That might help with separating when transplanting into the garden. Happy with the flowers you inspired me to WS! 😍😍😍
I am going to follow your footsteps.
I love it!
The cat litter jug looks like a great container for ws! I have access to lots of those!
They are amazing. I’m collecting already now!
WS has been so exciting for me. It’s my first time and germination was almost 100%. I did some SS also.
Not the best of luck but the Shasta daisies are doing great! Seems like insect damage. I'm from Southern California. What a fun video. I can't wait to see your garden throughout the summer!
Thank you. I’m glad you are here with me
Yay!!!! I’m happy for ya! I totally get your excitement, I get it! New Subscriber here🪻🪻🪻🪻
They look great. A lot of mine this year are really stunted. Not sure why. 3 years ago I planted Shasta Daisies in a pot. They didn’t come up. I completely forgot about them. Last spring they came up. Grew like crazy. I potted them up twice. Then fall I divided the plant into 3 and planted them in the landscape. They are almost 2 feet by 2 feet this year. Don’t rule those seeds out. I would tape it back up and give it more time.
I'm enjoying your winter sowing results (newly subscribed!) and wanted to share that I recently heard of some using saran wrap instead of duct tape. I totally missed my winter sowing window this year, but I think I might the saran wrap next year. (Saran wrap that's on a hand held roller, used for packaging - that's what I heard.)
THAT IS GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!! What an incredible idea. I wonder how it would hold up over the winter and the elements? I want to try that also! Thank you for watching :-) and subscribing. You’re the best!
Will you make a video when you plant everything in your garden? I would love to see how you divide the plants when planting. I’ve had some success with winter sowing. This year was my second year of trying. But now that I see all of yours I’m anxious for next year already lol ! I will definitely try a lot more ! Also do you direct sow any seeds? Thanks
It’s happening this week and you’ll have videos galore of all of this!!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Yes I direct seed zinnias but also trying some new ones 🤩. Oh and always direct seed like cukes, squash zucchini watermelon cantaloupe. Domt wait for next year, let’s grow this year. Try it and see how it works. You can’t succeed if you don’t give it a shot 😘
So exciting! but now what, when can you plant them outside😅 I'm still not sure -thank you for all your help you are great and I'm learning a lot😃
I’m planting now. I’m making lots of videos for you too!!!
Hey Kim! This may be silly, but curious how you prep the garden with pulling the weeds up. I have several LARGE beds that i get in and weed, but curious if the process could be easier-not sure if I'm using the right tools and all that. Maybe a future video idea?
But Miss Kim, THE SCABIOSA!!! Can you transplant that? I've got a few other plants that are the same size and I was wondering what is too small to plant in the garden. 🤔
It’s growing little by little. Typically I like them a little bigger than this!
I like the idea of using the wagons…. Did u leave them in the wagon the whole time they were sown? Moving the jugs around is a pain in the butt 🤣
So fun! How do you determine how many seeds to sow in your containers?
I started the same Ferry Norse hollyhock seed but mine are a fraction of the size. Do you fertilize your soil when starting seed?
Are the American Seeds from the Dollar Tree?
Hi Kim. Since you are in a warmer zone, do you keep your jugs in a more shaded area or full sun? I worry about them getting too hot so I probably open mine too early because I have mine in full sun in zone 5B
I don’t. They do fine in the direct hot full sun. But it’s also ok if you opened them and continue to let them grow in the container. Experiment and find what works for your area! 😊
@@thesoutherndaisyllc I panic and worry that I will fry the seedlings. When I open them too early, I lose the whole mini greenhouse effect and the containers dry out so quickly. I love how you let yours come up and out of the top of the jug.
I find the winter sewing very confusing. My last frost state is March 6 and we have our first frost date is in 😊November so when would you start seeds in the jugs?
Ok let me help you! You would start I’d say end of November and plan to open them after March 6 once the freezing night temps are gone. Does that help?
We are still in the 100’s in November is that too hot?
Out temps are kinda crazy here in central Texas sometimes it’s in the 90’s in December, and sometimes it’s cold. Never can tell lol
Do you start sowing in the last month of winter?
No i start typically in January
I'm from South Africa in zone 9b. Our winter starts in June. So do I sow in the beginning of winter or when in winter?
Excited to try winter sowing next year🥹
When is the best time to start winter sowing?
