Winter Garden Seeds
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Winter gardens are an excellent way to extend your favorite summer activity. With a little care, these gardens will yield a variety of delicious vegetables at a fraction of the cost for produce purchased in the supermarket. Productive winter gardens are ones that are well planned. The keys to success are knowing the average date of the first frost in your region and the maturity time for your chosen vegetables.
You should sow your seeds while the ground is still warm. Most plants require some warmth to germinate properly. Vegetables such as beets, carrots, peas, spinach and lettuce are excellent varieties to grow from seed. Carrots are an excellent example of a crop that can be left in the ground in cold weather perhaps up to Christmas time. Surprisingly, snow can even provide a good cover for carrots and other winter crops such as parsnips. Matures in 30 Days.
