Also, in regards to vegetables, as I said in the video - tropical plants can be Winter Sowed, but should not be sown until about a month earlier than you would normally start them. This would apply to most vegetables. But in general, if a plant is cold hardy to your zone, then the seed should have no issue surviving the Winter.

Ask questions in the comments, and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.
