Winter Sowing Part 2

So here's what we've got so far:

12 milk jugs planted in January that my in-laws plant-sat for me.
Out of those twelve, we've got sweet peas up, calendula, and a few mysteries....

Why mysteries?  Well, did you know that a sharpie marker will not be permanent on some kinds of plastic?   The ink wore off of all the milk jugs, and, once again, we're just guessing by the bits of seed coatings on top of the dirt!

Also, 10 milk jugs planted that have been at Dorothy's this spring.
Out of those, we already have calendula up.  We'll see what else appears!  Same sharpie problem, of course.

Winston, my husband, recommended a "lab marker" which can write permanently on these kinds of plastic.   Better living through chemistry!   We'll have to try this next year.
