@meggrowsplants: Winter Sowing is a gardening technique that taps into the magic of the cold season to prepare for a vibrant spring. To create your winter sowing jug, start by selecting a translucent container, such as an old milk jug, ensuring it allows sunlight to reach the seeds within. Carefully cut the upper part of the jug, preserving the handle to transform it into a mini-greenhouse. Next, fill the base of the jug with high-quality potting mix and choose cold-hardy seeds suitable for winter sowing. Gently water the seeds, ensuring the soil is evenly moist, and seal the jug with its lid, making sure to add ventilation holes for air circulation. Find a suitable outdoor spot for your jugs, allowing them to embrace the cold weather for natural seed stratification. Over the following weeks, observe as the seeds awaken and tiny sprouts emerge. Once the risk of frost has passed, transplant the seedlings into your garden or larger pots. Winter sowing is a simple and cost-effective method that harmonizes with nature’s seasonal rhythms, providing a delightful way to kickstart your garden. Happy Winter Sowing! 💚 #gardentips #wintersowing #seedstarting #gardeninghacks #gardentok

I’m in Wisconsin and I’ve done this the last three years. Not all seeds have worked but ive probably had an 80% success rate. So worth it!

My winter garden plants are covered in aphids and I feel so demoralized for my garden this year. Any tips for getting motivated again.
