7 Seeds to Winter Sow for Gorgeous Pink Blooms! 🌸❄️

[@DigginandDoin]

Hello! I’m new to gardening, so far I’ve had two full growing seasons, zone 7a in northern central Virginia (2 hours south of Wash DC). I have fox glove that I started from seed last year that I’m excited to see bloom this year which are a mixed blend of colors. I’ve been having great luck with dahlias. My favorite is somewhat pink and that’s Belle of Barmera. I also loved making arrangements with Crème de Cassis. I’ll be growing lots of plants this year both ornamental and vegetable. I’ve had to do a lot of editing in our landscape the house sat empty for a while and the previous owner was elderly and after this past summer, I can see how invasive plants can quickly take over. I’ve been battling English Ivy, vinca vine, autumn olives and wild blackberry. It’s been quite the challenge. This year since I have more editing to do than I have minutes in the day, I’m going to do something radical just so I can see beautiful flowers instead of waiting to create/reclaim flower beds. And as I continue to edit and create new beds, I’ll just transplant anything I want to keep. I’ll be preparing some winter sowing jugs this weekend.

Enjoyed your video on winter sowing. Tried last year with some success- really fun process to watch the seeds develop and grow without any assistance from me .

Hi, I just subscribed. I'm just wondering what zone/ state you're in. I like to keep that in mind, especially when starting seeds and planting out. I'm in MA zone 6a.
