Time to Winter Sow Your Seeds

Have you tried winter sowing vegetable and ornamental plant seeds? If not, give it a try this winter. Many seeds, including tomato seeds and your favorite perennial seeds, do unbelievably well using this method.

I'm sharing the Trudi Davidoff message on Winter Sowing this week with my community garden compadres so am glad to see an article here on the NGA with such great illustrations. I've come to enjoy the twist-tie method of securing the jugs. Your method also uses less tape, and I think that's great too.

I'll also share that using a tote with red solo cups also worked great for me last year. I am planting a new one up with poppy varieties, can't wait! It's a great antidote to the Covid blues and the grey winter doldrums. Thanks for the share!

Aww, glad it was helpful. My Winter Sowing presentation to a local community gardening group went well. I thought this thread would appreciate the SlideShare, WS seed lists and my lessons learned in Winter Sowing:
