Large Scale Winter Sowing Experiment – Starting Flower and Vegetable Seeds Without Grow Lights
A few seasons ago, a brief introduction to the winter sowing method completely changed the way I garden. Without the need for grow lights or fancy seed starting setups, it is truly a way for those of us with tiny garden budgets to grow something that is absolutely amazing. The options when using the winter sowing method are limitless – you can start both vegetable and flower seeds with ease. This method is especially useful when attempting to grow some perennial flowers and herbs from seed (which may be difficult to germinate). Seeds are naturally stratified when needed, there’s no need to fuss about hardening off the seedlings before transplant…

A New Season of Winter Sowing
It’s finally here! Yet another season of winter sowing. If you’re not familiar with winter sowing, a quick search of either this blog or my YouTube channel will definitely yield some results. Winter sowing has quickly become one of my favorite gardening techniques. In fact, I’ve tried (with mostly success) to use the winter sowing technique with nearly every kind of plant that I grow. Obviously, hard to germinate seeds like perennial flowers are most beneficial – but it’s nice to be able to start things like lettuce and kale early, too. Being that I have absolutely no space in my tiny house, and that I don’t have any spare…

2017 Winter Sowing Results
Hi Lovelies! It’s definitely been awhile. I’ll admit, I really hate saying that because it makes me realize just how much I really do neglect the blog. I always keep meaning to finally sit down and write up a post, but it always seems like a million other things that I need to do suddenly take precedence. Sorry about that, folks. Anywho, this is a post I’ve been meaning to finally sit down and finish for at least a couple weeks – this year’s winter sowing results. If you’re unfamiliar with what winter sowing is, I’ve already got a post in which I prepare containers and talk at a little…

Winter Sowing Results / Transplanting into the Garden!
Hi Lovelies, Wow, I seriously can’t believe that it’s already that time of year. While the weather has certainly been all over the place – it’s time to transplant some of my winter sowing containers into the ground! Now, obviously there’s still a chance of frost here – until the first week of May. However, there are tons of great cold-tolerant plants ready to go out into the yard. Check some of them out, below!

I’m back!
Hi Lovelies, Oh my! It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? With the growing season right around the corner, I’m happy to say that one of my goals for the season is to get back into the habit of blogging (in addition to posting regular content all over social media, lol). When the winter is the coldest, I always start dreaming of the beautiful things that are possible for the season. This season is no exception, and I really hope I have the opportunity to make it great! 🙂 🙂 The “wheels” have been “falling off the wagon” over here, so I’m hopeful for good things to come. I’ve really got a…

February 2016: Week One Update
Hi Lovelies, First and foremost, let me apologize to everyone who left a comment on the last post and I didn’t get a chance to respond. I’ve been having major technical difficulties over here, which I have hopefully resolved. Now that I’ve done a lot of winter sowing, I feel like the season has started – and I’m extremely excited about it. This winter has been a lot sunnier than normal, and I can only hope that the trend continues. My goal at the moment is to write an update at least once a week – but we’ll see how that goes. Honestly, I’m not even sure if anyone actually…
