The winter sowing entry violates many of the basic tenants of wikipedia. The formost problen is that the entire article is biased due being written as a first person narrative. It needs to be re-written in a neutral point of view. The article also lacks any verifable facts other than the original authors web page.

Examine the following paragraph:

"First, let me give you a little background as to why I sowed the seeds during the Winter. I live in a very small house, a cottage actually, and I simply do not have room for a light set up, also, any window space I have must be fought from the cat and "Prinny" likes to look out on the street and watch the world go by, so I have to give her a windowsill. She's a good cat and deserves her place in the sun."

It could be changed to the following:

Ms Davidoff once started seed indoors but her limited growing space conflicted with her cat's need for a sunny windowsill.Plantscience (talk) 03:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
