Your initial success post showed what looks like a great germination rate and healthy seedlings. Did you get the bloom you wanted?<br/><br/>I've been curious about winter sowing for a year or two and am planning to give it a try - may even put in some veggies.

I always think I'm going to start my seeds early, inside, but our small space just doesn't make this very practical. If I can make this work I can get my early starts without taking half my tiny dining room! Thanks for sharing the idea! I’m so excited to try this.
