Publisher's summary

Winter Sowing in Milk Jugs is the Cheapest and Easiest Way to Start Your Seeds

What if I told you that it is possible to begin planting the seeds for your spring and summer garden outdoors in the winter, even if there is snow on the ground and ice storms in the forecast?

But first, let me tell you about winter sowing. It's a ton of fun, doesn't cost much, and simple to set up.

For a novice gardener, planting seeds is a daunting task. But it doesn't have to be the case.

Once you get the hang of it, cultivating plants from seed is a pleasurable and rewarding hobby.

You can begin spreading your seeds months before you can do so inside.

The winter sowing approach requires no special tools; instead, you may use things you already have lying around the house.

Seeds may be grown outdoors, saving you the trouble of locating a suitable indoor location and installing burdensome lighting and heating equipment or building a greenhouse.

This book will provide you with all the knowledge you need to successfully winter plant your seeds.

This book is for you if you're sick of the hassle and expense of starting seeds indoors, need more space, or are just interested in trying a new technique.

  • Things you need that won't put a dent in your finances
  • Methods for determining the most productive varieties of seeds
  • How to create the ideal "greenhouse" for winter sowing by selecting suitable containers and preparing them properly.
  • How to properly plant the pots
  • Optimal outcomes from winter and spring maintenance
  • When and why should you start your garden seedlings

This book lays out all the basics to start a successful garden early, whether your interests lie in growing edible fruits, veggies, and beautiful flowers.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Short but full of great information

As a beginner gardener, this book is just right for me. I only began gardening a couple of years ago and I'm doing pretty good with it. This is great next step for me.

The book has enough information and detail to be successful, but it's not overwhelming. I'm going to get started this weekend!
