I really enjoyed this update, as I’m about to begin my seed sowing as well. I am in Ohio, zone 6b. Last year was my first success with snapdragons. I LOVED them and they gave me cut flowers from May to early September. Have you tried the “seed snail” method of seed sowing? It’s a great space saving trick and I had MASSIVE success with it last year and plan to start most of my seeds this year that way, vegetables and flowers. I tried the diy greenhouses with plastic totes last year as well and it worked great for me. Happy seed sowing!
I've never heard of the seed snail method before but I just looked it up and I'm fascinated! I think I need to try this next. So good to hear that you had winter sowing success in zone 6b! I always worry about it being too cold here, but we're 7b (a?) so it's probably fine. But I do worry. :)
Can’t wait to see all the flowers start to bloom
Warm weather please come soon👨🌾👒🪴
Thanks, Anthe, and I’m with you!!!! Tired of this weather. Hope it’s a little better in Charlotte :)

They insist on describing this winter, which has been consistently colder than usual, as the warmest yet.
We have to invert our terminology.
Wow, are they really? Here we’re all agreed on the coldest, and everybody’s sick of it. :(
