Winter sowing in plastic bags works! I posted a reel about it the other day. It’s so cheap, fast, and easy. Thanks to this hack by @wintersowing , if you you live in zone 3-9, all you need are large ziplock bags, potting soil, long campfire sticks, and seeds to grow hardy annuals, perennials, and spring veggies January-March for spring planting. I planted a bunch of my spring flowers for my flower farm this way on January 5. Here’s some of what I sowed, their lowest hardiness temps, and more of

Last year I switched to winter sowing in plastic bags and it worked out so well that I’m doing it again this January. I’ll be filming the whole process, but here are the basic steps if you want to save this for later: • Cut a few triangular holes in a 1-gallon plastic bag • Add potting soil (about 1/3 full) • Moisten soil • Sprinkle in seeds • Add a light layer of soil • Close the bag clip the corner for ventilation • Set it outside and let the magic happen Are you ready to try winter sowing?!!

The bags create mini greenhouses for your seeds. They sprout when they are ready and they are hardy strong seedlings ready to go into the ground. Everything is reusable. The trick are the marshmallow sticks to hold the bags upright and open for rain and snow. Here is a partial list of what can be sown between January and March.

Winter sowing is a fantastic method of starting a whole bunch of your seeds without much upfront effort:) All you need is milk jugs or other similar plastic containers (even ziplock bags work!), potting soil, and seeds!! Then you just place them outside and let mother nature do her thing:) Come spring, the little seedlings will be hardier and healthier because they will be much better adapted to the outside world😃 Go on! Give it a try! #wintersowing #wintersown #wintersowingmethod #wintersowflo

It’s January and I just sowed my ziplock bags. Do I need to water them? Because I completely soak my soil when I sowed my seeds (see reels), my bags won’t need to be watered for a long time. The soil in my bags is currently frozen solid under a blanket of snow. #wintersowing #minigreenhouse #seedstarting ##gardenhack | Winter Sowing in Ziplock Baggies

Good evening everyone!❄️ Have you tried starting your seeds outdoors by “winter sowing?” Not only will it save you ⏰💰, work, and space, it can also give you a bit of a head start to the season. In the last 8 years, I’ve noticed that plants seem to be more resilient when exposed to the adverse conditions outdoors in early stages. ✅Seeds can be planted directly in place under cloches or into plastic containers such as milk jugs, water or juice bottles from winter through early spring.

Winter Sowing: Quick and Dirty Many seeds require a cold treatment in order to germinate. This is also referred to as “cold stratification.” And this can be done in the fridge or directly outdoors in the wintertime. Check the instructions for the number of days required of cold treatment but it’s generally 30-60 days. Once the seed has experienced its required cold days, it will know that it’s time to germinate as the days get longer and the weather gets warmer. Once they germinate you can eithe
