- In this experiment I layered a pot with wood chips, rabbit bedding and potting soil. I will do this again. but maybe not reuse potting soil. The reused potting soil can go in the garden beds. blanket flower winter sows very well beautiful. #wintersowing #wintersown #wintersow #gardenexperiment #garden #seedsstarting
I’ve never understood why with winter sowing you wouldn’t just direct sow… and put something over so that you don’t have to transplant after. I’m so glad you addressed this!
Try it! It works. :)
Because sometimes that would definately work
But it’s hard to cover stuff you can’t move to cover in the garden
As long as you can cover it if there’s frost
What a lovely idea!! Thank you
It works! give it a try :) ❤️
Im doing this today (probably too late but trying anyway). Came back for a refresher & love your energy. ❤❤
I'm glad you are gonna try it. Make sure to water at least once a week especially if you are in a dry climate. I live in Utah. I will be doing more like this all March
Best tomatoes we ever had were the ones that grew under the rabbit cage.
I believe it! Pure gold.
I'm finally in a place where I can have a little balcony garden and I've been doing a lot of research. Winter sowing caught my attention but to be honest the amount of jugs and the look of them all wasn't appealing but I also don't have a place inside to start seedlings. I figured I could do what you just showed off with my containers starting soon when my seeds arrive, but it is really nice to see someone else try it out as well.
I love seeing how casual you've made this, how down to earth and real. A lot of folks make things so complicated or so perfect/pretty that it feels daunting. But putting a plastic bag over a container and checking it every week for a few cold months? That I can do.
Yes you can do it! Make it simple and have fun. Thanks for watching.
Last year, I had to transplant just about everything. This year, I'm trying this same experiment. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I did a huge pot of snapdragons too and they did much better I'll have to look and see if I can find some pictures yes less work is better and you still get to play during the winter
Enjoy your lettuce! Happy little suprises provided by Mother Nature. Your Blanket Flowers will come. Yes, for some seeds, light is important for germination but soil temp is also important. As your pot heats up in the coming days, so will your blanket flowers. I garden this way alot. I hope your followers will give it a try.
Thank you! I really love this way of winter sowing
This method looks more like something I'd be interested in trying. Thanks for the info!
You are welcome. It does work. Give it a go ❤️
Will try it out. Clever hack. I had saved 9 milk and jug bottles but was feeling queasy thinking about drinking ourselves through another 10 or more. Lol
However I have plenty of planters and spare plastic and twine. Plus you have more planting surface to work with.
Yes try it! Find the way you like to do it better. Make sure the plastic is tight so it gives a greenhouse effect.
Fantastic definitely doing this THX!
You're welcome! It worked very well. ❤️
Great video I will try this method
Great. Give it a try. I was very pleased with how well it worked. I will do this every season and I will keep experimenting with new ways to grow.
Wow easy ❤
Yes! Try it out. I was very pleased and will do this every season. I will also do experiments with new ways to see what works every season. Gardening is a huge experiment.
@@gardenfunwithjane4897 Absolutely 💯 thank you for sharing. I'm gonna try this out. Coming from a tropical country gardening in 🇺🇸😎is an experiment. Love ❤️it.
Awesome video! Can you tell me what kind of dog is behind you at end of video? I want one just like it!
I have three dogs so I had to go back and figure out what dog you were talking about. Her name is honey and she is a rescue rover so her breed could be anything but we think she has some golden retriever in her and actually some Chow. She is super sweet and she does have a little bit of feistiness to her but not bad we love our honey girl. She is almost 9 years old.
@@gardenfunwithjane4897 thanks so much! She is beautiful..I can see the golden retriever in her. We had one many years ago....best dog ever.
Thank you!!
It's already mid February here, I wonder if I could use this method to early sow. Maybe not early sow, but get it in the ground and let the timing be more natural. Won't hurt to try.
Try it. It can also help deter pests from eating your plants.
So it looks like you did this in January and then open it in April. I have big empty pots sitting on my patio over winter so will try! Can I then transplant lettuce so I can plant summer flowers in pots? I am guessing you have to remove the large piece of plastic each week to water? Dry here too...
I don't take the plastic off until spring. I want the plastic to be tight enough to make a greenhouse effect but it has holes in the top. So I water with a hose or milk jug straight on top and it settles right in. Yes you can plant lettuce first and then either harvest it all or move transplants out and use the pot for more flowers. Hope that helps ❤️
Do you collect your own seeds?
Yes I collect quite a bit of my own seeds I also love to trade online in different Facebook groups it's so fun to try different flowers and veggies etc
Couple month and im gonna be doing winter sowing too😊
Try it. It was awesome. I'll do it again too.
Do you get snow? I don't think the plastic would hold if you received a lot of snow??
This was filmed last March I edit as I have time last winter was a lot more mild than this winter but we did get snow and it worked if you're in an area with heavy heavy snow maybe a thicker plastic or even plexiglass might work thanks for watching
Wonder if we should brush the snow off...or maybe we don't need to worry if it isn't crushing the plants. @@gardenfunwithjane4897
@@mudwellies1 snow is a great thing for winter sowing. It will melt and water your plants. You really only worry your first season try it and try to not stress too much. Enjoy the process
Cannot hear the audio…
So sorry. I am trying to buy a microphone.
Did you do an update on this project? I looked through your videos and didn’t see anything.
I know I have an update on the blue pots I'll link that one here.
