I germinate dozens of species (50+) every year, and have been practicing Wintersowing for over 8 years. In this complete guide, I will describe
- What is Winter Sowing
- Winter sowing vs Cold Stratification
- How to Winter Sow with Milk Jugs
- How to Winter Sow with other containers
- How to Winter Sow with trays/domes mini-greenhouse
- Lessons learned / tips and guidance for wintersow
Also, in regards to vegetables, as I said in the video - tropical plants can be Winter Sowed, but should not be sown until about a month earlier than you would normally start them. This would apply to most vegetables. But in general, if a plant is cold hardy to your zone, then the seed should have no issue surviving the Winter.
Ask questions in the comments, and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.
