Winter sowing is an easy garden hack to get an earlier start on spring planting! Here’s some additional tips: -Experiment with different seeds each year. Some varieties do better with this method than others. -If you are expecting heavy snow or ice, you can temporarily move the containers to a sheltered area. -If your potting mix looks dry, gently add water through the top. Be careful not to use a strong stream as it can displace the seeds. -Transplant seedlings when they are 2-4 inches tall. Yo
