I live in zone 5a in the Idaho mountains. This year I tried planting in the snow mid March(2 feet still in March). I used a method that was a direct sow as demonstrated on the MIgardener RU-vid page. It was a huge win! Planted 3 veggies-lettuce, spinach and Kale. Since we live off grid, we don’t have an option of heat/lights for early seed starts so this was awesome. I was harvesting lettuce by late May, Kale and spinach a couple weeks later. Plants were strong and vigorous. I’ll definitely be doing this again!

This was my second year winter sowing, Zone 6 Massachusetts and I've had 100% success. I don't have space for indoor seed starting. I did transplant when the plants were quite small and gave them protection with row covers. I don't bother WS spinach, arugula, or peas because they can be direct sowed so early anyway.

The idea behind winter sown is alot of gardeners don't have space or a greenhouse to start seeds. Winter sown change the game. Also the plants are less likely to get leggy and there also hardened off.

With your plants that bolted, you might consider transplanting smaller plants. With winter sown plants, the roots are quite vigorous when the top growth is still small. I have great results transplanting WS plants when they are quite small, and the cold-tolerant ones well before last frost dates.

This was the first time I have heard of this. When I saw your title I thought you were direct seeding seed that would overwinter outside and come up in the Spring. I have a friend back in Ashtabula Ohio who has great success with many things that way, notably kale and onions and parsnips. His parsnips grow like weeds! It's insane the amount that comes up. I have never grown celery but it has been on my mind since I have learned of and used mirepoix in my cooking. I've been teaching myself to cook for a number of years now. I pulled my zucchini out today, basically because I didn't want anymore and my garden is overrun. lol Oh and I dug up some potatoes because I am going to need some in an upcoming meal. Always a pleasure to hear from you. Keep up the good work!
@GrowfullywithJenna
@GrowfullywithJenna Год назад
I do some of that too- kale, carrots, onions... all seem to work well when sown in late fall and overwintered till spring. I'll have to try parsnips now! I didn't start growing my own celery till a few years ago- for some reason I had it in my head that it was difficult to grow here. But it's actually quite easy as long as you feed it- and tastes much better than the grocery store stuff. We use a lot of it in soups & stews. I'm about at that point with the zucchini too 😆... which reminds me- I've got some giant ones out in the garden right now that I need to pull & feed to the chickens! They love zucchini!

Thank you so much for posting this video. It is very helpful to see comparison of plants started indoors vs winter sowing. I'm currently working on my winter sowing project and your video saved me a lot of time. After watching your video I decided to start perennial flowers using winter sowing method. I agree, perennials will most likely be a success. I will also give a try with tomatoes and peppers just to see what happens and post a comparison video later in the year. You definitely saved me some time with trying to winter sow leafy greens.😊 Thank you!

@dustyflats3832 Год назад
I’m experimenting also with peppers, tomatoes and onions, but main crop inside until I know. They say toms and pepps will catch up once planted in comparison to indoor sown. My concern is onions, I just don’t think they will get big enough-we’ll see. All the brassicas and leafy greens did well for me in Z5a winter sow last year. Not sure what happened to Jenna’s. I never grew chard or collards before, but they were huge. 😂and we didn’t like chard and if I knew how to fix collards I may have enjoyed them. The weird thing I read about celery is a cold snap will make them bolt. Mine grew very well in WS, but the stalks stayed skinny and I never grew before. This year I will pay more attention to water and think that is key because Jenna has clay and I have sand. That clay has a lot of nutrients and holds water well and she had impressive stalks. I think her WS celery may have needed transplanting sooner. Not sure if they were both same variety.

That’s what is on my agenda also. I need to figure out tomatoes, peppers and onions. Want to get to a point where the mess can be outside. Planning on a re-do of lean-to greenhouse this year and if I can do it efficiently I may use that going forward. Eli in the Garden said her tomatoes produced earlier, but they stopped earlier than her neighbors. That could be variety I don’t know. I have seen that the warm season crops quickly catch up though. I will still start some indoors this year and a few of those questionable 3 in WS jugs. I love the WS technique and hopefully our weather here in WI is going to remain cold from here on out as you know the rain was very unusual for us. Been too warm to start jugs, but I didn’t do it until mid March last year when I discovered it.

This was my third year winter sowing. I planted about 150 jugs each year, with about half annual flowers and perennial herbs and flowers. Overall germination was 75-80 of total with those that did not germinate mostly the same as those that would not germinate other years: pretty consistent. Exception- My tomatoes hardly germinated and half of those were stunted and eventually died or produced malformed plants and fruits. (What ever the widespread tomato issue is, I still can’t pin it down). In Ind 6a. While I will use my new small polycarbonate greenhouse more for seed starting this next year, I will still WS a majority of my plants, mostly because of the convenience. Great video

I took and put dirt in a cardboard box and set inside a white plastic bag……I planted kale, cabbage, bush peas spinach. I put my boxes where they only had partial sun rather then hot sun all day. I put a paper cup in the middle of the box with some holes around it. I then closed the bag around the cup tying with string like a gift. The small cup allowed water to get in …the holes I put around the box and the bag kept the seedling s from flooding. Small holes to keep slugs etc out…when ready to plant I place the box in the ground or into a food safe tote and no disturbance to the roots…the box decomposes. I use sticks and make a tent over my plants and hang tulle over them clipping with sewing clamps you use for material…light weight and water proof. I buy plant cloth to cover them if it gets cold…..the tulle netting is cheap from Amazon…..nice ground cover to keep cats from using the dirt around your plants to dig….also put as protection for plants in my greenhouse. I’ve never had any bees or birds get caught in them to answer that question. I keep my greenhouse closed with a screen door on one end and window on the other with a fan on a timer to move air.Kept birds out from nesting and hungry ground hogs, cats etc from coming in. It was my best year for cucumbers I ever had, no damage by insects. To pollinate I just shook the stems with flowers. I have plenty of flowers, dandelions, herbs etc for the pollinators all around the farm….

I definitely will use the method for herbs & companion planting flowers next season. I did 150 jugs most did fantastic including hot weather crops. My one bummer was artichokes.

Great informative video. My winter sowing wasn’t great this year. In Ohio as you are so weather might have been the issue. Nothing got overly big and too small to individually plant so eventually I just took whole blob of plants out of container and planted the whole thing. I was amazed though that as soon as I planted things, they started thriving. My beets and kale and kohlrabi did great but they were really too close together so didn’t get really big. 🤷🏻‍♀️. It still is kind of therapeutic though messing with it all as the winter months drag on it’s nice to do something gar-deny to do. 😁. I have a small seed starting inside system too which I enjoy during the cold months. Even that didn’t do the same as previous years. Your cauliflower and broccoli looked so nice!! I did have my brassicas covered and yet those darn cabbage worms still found their way in. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A few great pollinator attractors are horsemint, borage and sunflowers. Marigolds are excellent repellents for bad bugs and put them all over. Any flower with pollen and especially flowers with multiple buds the bees go crazy for. They hybridized some flowers to be pollen less like sunflowers for indoor cut flowers. Nice for that, but not good for pollinators.

Well Jenna after gardening for 35 + years I must say that in my area in Southern Ontario....I believe that even if you start early like mid March, if the weather doesn't co-operate with you then you may as well not start here till you can plant out in say May 10 ish....I think that in these last 10 years March can have nicer weather than April.....so in the future I will just not expect to plant out much before this time....moisture ( mother nature's way ⛈)....has been very unpredictable as you know....I think you have had way more then me! Every year is different and every crop has its success and failure....you just have to keep on with the program....squash....vine bugs are really tough to predict....this year they got me....I thought I had waited long enough....so next year will be another try....all your stuff looks good....even with your little ups and down....my Cauliflower ,cabbage and broccolini was the best I have ever grown....but the white cabbage butterflies seemed to be a full month later than usual....so I think this helped alot....

Agree on the cabbage butterflies- I think the first generation got killed back by the late cold snap we had, because they were much later for me this year as well. I saw a similar pattern with the cucumber beetles. And our weather is absolutely unpredictable as well-- speaking of, right now it feels like fall in midwestern Ohio... which is nearly unheard of for mid-August! I just tend to plant everything out in the hopes that something will work!

Good morning, Jenna. I’ve tried the winter sowing twice; once in 2021, and again this year. My attempts were both made with big Steralite tubs and clear solo cups as pots for tomatoes and a small selection of flowers. Last year worked beautifully, almost too well because the tomatoes had almost outgrown the totes by mid April. This year, not so much. By the end of April my plants were only a couple of inches tall. I’ll be attempting it again this coming winter, just to see if this year was just a fluke. Peppers will still be started in the house on a grow mat. 😊

Hi Jenna, interesting experiments ! 🙂This year I made a bit different experiment. I did sow outdoors in February, March and then April, directly in the soil to see what happens just by curiosity. I especially wanted to see the effect of natural light versus indoors sprouting/growing with limited natural light (I don't use artificial lights and heating). I tried lettuce and different varieties of cabbage. Results were bad. Nothing sprouted, seems like it was either too cold or seeds were eaten by insects. But I got much more exciting but unvoluntary results with my physalis that I left last automn in place. It still had many unripe fruits. I usually have troubles to make physalis seeds sprout indoor. To my surprise, my garden was infested with physalis seedlings this spring, relatively early by the end of April/beginning of May when it's not warm yet (8°C/46F max during the night). I highly recommend this method ! 😁

Wow! A lot of info and work on your part. Interesting. I’m Z5a and we also had early heat, but this is first year for winter sowing and collards and celery. My collards and chard were Huge! The celery limped along and planted in 3 different places and the shaded were much bigger and still growing, but no way those nice stalks you have. The cabbage were fantastic and the Deadon cabbage is still going. We have trouble getting beets, radishes to bulb and carrots take forever without getting very big. Sometimes I think it’s variety. I know I’m hooked on winter sowing as I don’t like babysitting seedlings, the mess, cost and room it takes. I think for me the only veg I will grow inside would be onions because they need the head start, unless I buy them again. Will look for Calvin and give it ago. Maybe it will be a nice surprise like the onion harvest this year. First year for large onions and it’s a sure winner. Too bad we don’t like collards and chard as they grew really well.

German chamomile is on my list to grow next year. I love the tea. Haven't grown it yet (next year for sure) but I've done a lot of reading on it. I "suspect" that you got better plants with the winter sown because while it's an annual, it self seeds for the next year. A lot of self seeding herbs (it is one) need a cold stratification time to start their life. Your winter sown group got that while your indoor group did not. Just a thought.

Well, Jenna, you know I'm a fan of winter sowing lol. You saw the photos where I used my little greenhouse to do it. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. Though it is a slower start, I have fruit on the peppers and tomatoes. I will get a late harvest if Mother Nature cooperates. The egg plants have blossoms now. If we would have had the usual quantity of pollinators this year, the winter sown plants would be farther along. Not so many blossoms would have fallen off prematurely. We planted the usual flowers etc for them, but for some reason they were far and in between. Two years ago I winter sowed in 45 milk jugs. I had leafy greens, white tomatoes, all types of Italian herbs including actual Italian Sage. I also had a few Marigolds. Mostly I started perennials. I had about a 70% success rate that year. This year I had F-1 Roma, Cherokee Purple, and Thorburn Terra-Cotta tomatoes. Also Rosa Bianca eggplant and King of the North peppers. I like the fact you did a comparison. This was a great show! Two years ago I started everything in February and March. This year it was April 1st. I'll shovel the snow and use the greenhouse again this winter. I love to experiment! Enjoyed, take care!

I didn’t record temp fluctuations which might have been the culprit. Also, not sure if I used same amount of soil in jugs. Soil was again hard to get and pricey and I may have skimped a bit. But since the plants were small therefore footballs relatively small, I’m not going to jump on that. I threw most away but a few are just now maturing after being potted up but probably won’t mature in time. I’ll still try again as it opens a whole world of possibilities to those who can’t sow indoors. The cost is very low, the effort minimal, and the potential reward great.

Very interesting! I suspect this goes to show that weather can be a huge variable in success!

Great video! I’d love to know what plants you are sewing that need vernalization.. I’m making a list as well 🙂

So far I've got: Solomon's Seal, Comfrey, Flanders Poppy, and possibly Soapwort. I've done pawpaw in the freezer before, but want to try it as a winter sown also. I'm sure I'll add more to the list as well! What's on your list so far?

I kinda winter sowed my Hablitzia Taminoides. Put the seeds in a seed starting tray outside in early March, not even in a milk jug but uncovered for vernalization, they sprouted in early April, and then I brought them in the greenhouse so they'd grow faster. BTW I mentioned my Romanesco struggles in a comment in an earlier video. The one I planted on May 4 still hasn't bolted or formed a head as far as I can tell. July here was a bit cool, with an average high of 79F, and the only times we hit 90F this summer was July 19 (90F) and before that, June 21 & 22 (both 91F). August looks like it will be similar. The forecast for the upcoming week is highs of 73-77F. I do expect at least a few highs in the 80s to close out the summer, but there's a pretty good chance of nothing above 90F at this point. Maybe I can hope that big established plant can still make a big head? Otherwise I'll be transplanting the Romanesco and Broccoli seedlings this weekend.

Ooh! I hope the Romanesco does end up forming a head- that would be perfect!

Thanks so much for the video! I tried winter sowing for the first time this year. I didn't get a lot but I know where I went wrong (although it was successful with my lettuce and an early succession). Looking forward to trying again next year and keep improving. Side note - I ALSO have celery starts that I just never planted outside. :)

Happy to share, Cheryl! And how funny that you also have celery starts. But I'm glad to hear you're looking at the positive (ways to improve for next year)- that experimentation/learning/improvement cycle is one of the best things about gardening!
