I needed some green in my morning with this white stuff falling outside. Thank you for sharing! Im prepping my veggie garden and already have some things planted inside. Soon will be putting in some greens like lettuce and radish. Jacob said to tell Timmy Hi!
Very cool. I tried fall planting snaps, rudbeckia, yarrow, and feverfew last year. I’m in zone 4b/5a, but we typically have good insulating snow cover. I’m not worried about yarrow since that’s perennial to zone 2 or something, feverfew is usually reliable here, rudbeckia is an unknown, and I know people who have their snaps come back, but the areas I’ve checked (where the snow has melted) don’t show signs of life. Maybe the ones still under snow are ok. But I had a lot of success with early spring sowing those, so I have some started inside ready to go once the weather turns a corner here (in just a few days, according to the forecast!)
I tried to overwinter snapdragons too - I just trimmed mine as I have snowdrops and crocuses and other minor bulbs coming up under them. There are some good Plant identification app -- I use Picture This which has a fee but I believe iNaturalist is free as that was helpful last year in identifying different seedlings from plants verses weeds. Watch Brie the Plant Lady as she had a video a few weeks ago identifying larkspur and love in the mist. Yes I am looking forward to seeing some green in the garden too.
Love seeing so many green babies! And yes, trim snapdragons and anything else that has green coming from the bottom.
Will do! Thanks!

Timmy said hello back to Jacob!! Can't wait for garden season to be back in full swing!
Looks great. I’m anxious to see how the overwintered plants do. I live about 2 hours from St. Louis so this gives me some good ideas.
I'm anxious to see the final results as well! Happy Growing

Such useful information - thank you for sharing! I'd be very interested to hear if your snaps made it through your winter. Come on Spring!

Thank you! I will check that video out. I think I solved the mystery of what reseeded for me - Orlaya!
I think it’s Buplerum!
Yay!! I'm excited.
