- For all of you researching and thinking about starting your own backyard vegetable garden, this is the video for you! There is a way to start your seeds without having to shell out money for the whole in-home seed starting set-up. Yes! I started my whole garden on a budget last year with this method. Let me introduce you to 'Winter Sowing'!
In this video, we will cover the very basics, most importantly, the tools you need to start accruing now for the beginning of seed starting season in January/February. Its time to start buying your seeds, potting mix, and jugs! Especially check out for discounts and sales on seeds and soil during the winter season.
Let me know what you think of this mini introduction to Winter Sowing, and I can't wait to film our first application of this method in 2024!
Happy Planting,
Maria

Wow! You are amazing!!! Save money and hassles
Yes! Exactlyyyyy!
I’m tempted to do a “winter” milk jug sowing already in November. Why not just one or two. I’m zone 8b, but far north around the 45th parallel. So, while 20F is usually about as cold as it gets and mid 20F days aren’t frequent it does lightly freeze almost every night for a long time and 40F and raining all winter isn’t very warm at all.
I think that’s a great idea!! I should do the same thing. Maybe mid- December for me. Let me know how it goes 😊
How many seeds per container generally? Same as planting guide?
Hi! I have covered this in my most recent video- I made sure to include it for you! I broadcast along the soil surface, disregarding the spacing instructions on the packet since they will only be in the container for about 3-4 months and aren’t full establishing themselves as mature plants in there.
