]]> Comment on What to Winter-Sow…And When by Kevin Lee Jacobs http://www.agardenforthehouse.com/2012/01/what-to-winter-sow-and-when/#comment-13351 Kevin Lee Jacobs Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:11:19 +0000 http://williamsba.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/what-to-winter-sow-and-when#comment-13351 Michelle Ann Anderson - Nice to meet you. With large seeds (spinach, broccoli, etc.), I usually plant six to nine per gallon-size jug. I try to sow tiny, dust-like seeds (nicotiana, thyme, etc.) as thinly as I can. Which isn't in fact very thinly at all! But winter-sown seedlings are incredibly strong. If you have to <a href="http://www.agardenforthehouse.com/2011/04/transplanting-winter-sown-perennials-updated-bumped/" rel="nofollow">slice them up like brownies</a> at transplanting time, so be it. They will recover from the ordeal very rapidly. Michelle Ann Anderson – Nice to meet you. With large seeds (spinach, broccoli, etc.), I usually plant six to nine per gallon-size jug.
