Winter Sowing Q & A

Winter sowing is by far my favorite method of starting seeds for my vegetable or flower gardens. It's so easy, so cheap, and so effective, producing hardier seedlings than other seed-starting methods do. If you want to know the simple steps required for successful winter sowing (yes, even if it is snowing, you can start seeds right now!), either check out my ebook Starting Seeds (which covers multiple methods of seed sowing) or click over to this post that gives step-by-step winter sowing directions.

I've been touting winter sowing for many years, and over those years, I've consistently heard a handful of questions about the method. So I finally made a video to answer them!

Do you have other questions about winter sowing? Or gardening? Or homesteading? Or homekeeping? Please leave a comment with your question and I promise I'll answer.

    Hi. I've always taken the cap off for winter sowing. If you're leaving the cap on, when do you start cutting holes in the top?

    I start with a few slashes on the lid. As plants get taller, I slowly add more ventilation. Lately, I've been using distilled water jugs. For those, I leave the cap on continually until almost ready to plant out the seedlings.
