for summer sowing, check with your county agricultural extension department. Try googling the name of "your county state, planting schedule". I did and got several good charts.

Actually the w'sown site gives both suggestions and which annual plants that are good to start in March. I wish I had done more of my annuals then. Kym told me you can even start your perennials now for next yr. I did mine in Jan. Now today I went out and planted a bunch of my annuals. Going to post pics in w'sowing club of some of the sprouts.

I went to Summit Plastic Company online 3 days ago, and received 5 nice starter flats, their Awsome, just came today and its free even shipping, id encourage you all to do it to, they would be great for sowing

Great idea Kozy! Here's a pic of my Bachelor's Buttons, my first wintersown blooms!


Rt. next to it is my Black Ball Bachelor's Buttons, a dark red, double variety. Can't wait til that blooms!

Wow those are nice, i want to seed something right now, but not sure what will make it now
great job on those mandy

[Mandy]

Thank you. Kozy I was so thrilled with these guys and so proud! You would have thought they were made of gold! And they just keep getting nicer & nicer looking! Now some of the perennials I've planted probably won't bloom this yr. but that's ok. Try any of your annuals, they usually come up quick.

SO NOW IN jUNE I CAN SOW BULBS RIGHT? ALL BUT TULIPS

[Mandy]

Hmm. I usually wait til Sept.-Oct. to plant Spring blooming bulbs and I'm in zone 6. I guess it depends on what bulbs you are thinking about. Anybody have any advice?

[kozy]

[Mandy]

That's what I love about this site, so much great stuff to learn and great people to share with! Speaking of which I'll be mailing your seeds out today, good luck with them!

[kozy]

[Mandy]

There ya go! Wait til later for your annuals. Check out the witersown site, lots of good reading there!

Actually, if she is talking about sowing SEEDS for bulbs, some might want to be planted now. I plant my rain lillie seeds now and my amaryllis seed now when they are fresh and I plant the bulbs from the seed in the fall. I plant bulbs that I buy in the fall. I would research each seed because I would imagine it is different for different families of bulbs.
