purple coneflower

When I started my winter sowing project in mid-February this year, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had never done any winter sowing before.

I had a few scares with deep cold spells in late winter and spring, concerned whether the native plant seedlings in the milk jugs would make it through.

And a couple times I did move the milk jugs into the garage overnight.

As you can see from my photo of the purple coneflowers, I shouldn’t have been worried!
