sorry Paper... I've never done geraniums [ Blood Red Cranesbill]... though someone sent me a plant, which i planted in the fall... checked on it yesterday, and it seems fine. I also think i have some in Wisc, but i've never WS'ed it.
I just LOVE Agastache. On my walk yesterday, with the pooch, i spotted my Pink Pop, which is not hardy to my zone, and it had growth. go figure. so i was stoked to see that.
I've got the house to myself today, which is rare, so i may do some WS'ing in gardening pots that i have in the garage. we shall see. I have a bunch of Spider plants i need to transplant too.
I found Pink Pop at Lowe's today. I bought a pack. I'm gonna sow them when I get my hands on some more containers. I should have at least 50 heading this way on Saturday if the rain doesn't turn to snow and slush.
We get the keys to our house on Friday so I plan on starting to WS this weekend!!
Congratulations! Your neighbors are going to be very curious how you managed to go from bare yard to lush gardens in just 6 months, but it can be done.
For milk jugs, it depends on the seeds, but a couple pinches is a good guide. When it comes time to plant out, you'll scoop out a small HUNK of dirt containing seedlings and plant that right into the ground. If you can amend the soil beforehand, it will help. If not, dig out a gallon sized hole. Fill it with good potting soil making sure to scrape the sides of the hole first. This will let the soils mix and mingle. Then plant into the good potting soil.
You might want to check out Lasagna gardening too. A google search will give you lots of information on building new beds without tilling the soil. You basically toss down cardboard and newspaper, add some organic matter on top, and let mother nature take care of the rest. It's how my bed pictured above was built.
