| If you long to start your own plants from seed, yet barely have enough room for a houseplant let alone an elaborate light set-up, consider the winter sowing method. Winter sowing is appealing for many reasons, but my favorite part about it is that it's super simple. In general, when you decide to winter sow, you are letting Nature do the work of seed starting for you. You pot up seeds, but, instead of placing them under lights indoors, you set them outside and let them do their thing. In essence, you're taking advantage of many plants' ability to self-sow, but controlling where those baby plants spring up. Most winter sowers (and there are fans abound where winter sowing is concerned!) reuse plastic milk jugs, deli trays, yogurt cups, or two-liter soda bottles to plant their seeds in. |
