Sowing Seeds in Winter - Follow-up
If you have read my post about sowing seeds in winter, you might be interested to know, what was the result. Aren't you? ;-)
Well, it has turned out great! Everything sprouted, so I can recommend this method for those seeds that need to rest for a winter or two before sprouting. I had rose seeds, apple and crabapple seeds, various species of magnolias and some more I can't even recall any more, hidden in snow last winter.
Roses and crabapples have sprouted vigorously and have been growing fast too! Here are some of the rose species and cultivars, but unfortunately I have lost the name tags. I later recognised one of them to be a red-leaf rose, and most of them probably are seedlings of Rosa 'Juhannusmorsian' , but I remember sowing various kinds of rose seeds. Since I had no idea what I was growing, I just planted them randomly on the side of the yard. :-P It may be that I will have to dig them up some year if they happen to be some spreading cultivar though. Below you can see Malus purpurea 'Kadetti' seedlings.
