Winter Sowing 101 - Ep. 279

Winter sowing is a seed-starting method that sounds a little bit wild the first time you hear it but makes sense if you think about it from a horticultural standpoint. Basically you are sowing seeds in recycled containers like milk jugs and placing them outside in the winter as a very hands-off way of starting your spring garden.If you’ve ever:• Run out of space under grow lights• Been frustrated by leggy indoor seedlings• Or just felt like you don’t have the time or money or inclination for a full seed-starting setup…winter sowing might be your new favorite technique.Let's dig in!References and Resources:University of Missouri Extension.
