Winter Sowing - Flower Bin 15

 FLOWER BIN 15

April 20, 2026

Warming temperatures have resulted in some germination. I've been trying to keep bins in shade to avoid too much germination. Now that it looks like there are no freezes expected in the next 10 days, I'm going to go ahead and start moving bins where they will receive more sun. I hope to add to this post at some point with updates as to how everything did. Some seed varieties are planted in multiple bins- if it is blank then it hasn't germinated in this bin yet.

COMMENTS: This is a great big bin of sadness. Spouse was cleaning the patio and left some bins stacked high which then blew over later that evening when it got windy. I was really looking forward to these, I've made several carts at Swallowtail Gardens the last few years and finally bought this year. Oh well, hopefully I will get enough to save seeds off of. If I end up with even one of each variety I would be relieved it wasn't a total loss. I just put dirt back in pots as best I could- but of course some seeds buried too deep and everything is mixed.
