There's not much you can do in the garden or on the plot when it is snowing outside, so I get out the seed folders and share the 8 seeds (plus a bonus) that I am sowing in January. This is the first video in a monthly seed sowing series for 2025.
My hardiness zone 8b in Leicestershire in the UK - that's anywhere with a minimum average winter temperature of 15–20° fahrenheit and google tells me that in the US Zone 8b stretches from the northwest and California coasts, through central Arizona and southern Texas, and across south Georgia and north Florida.
I totally forgot to mention that this week is my 2 year YouTube anniversary. Cheers! 🥂
