Seed Starting

I went to a seed talk put on by the Calgary Horticulture Society last night. 3 talks, the first was about starting seeds inside under lights, the second was on seed collecting & direct sowing and the third was about winter sowing.

I was planning on starting some seeds inside (& I have but I was going to do more) but I knew it would be less than perfect as I don't have a full light set up. The rest I was going to direct seed in the spring when it finally got warm enough.

Now however I think I'm going to give winter sowing a try... the biggest problem will be finding containers to do it in as the lady who gave the talk last night said her best results came from the 4l milk jugs & we don't drink milk! Certainly something I'm going to read more about anyway...
