Скачать или смотреть Winter Sowing Results: How to grow flowers the EASY way!

Here are the results to my winter sowing method milk jugs! Winter sowing is one of the quickest and easiest ways to start seeds and grow tons of flowers, without all the hassle. All you need for winter sowing is a milk carton, some potting soil, duct tape, and seeds. Cut the milk carton in half and poke some holes in the bottom for water drainage. Make sure to label all the seeds you plant, because in a few months you will most likely forget what you planted.

I winter sowed cool flowers/hardy annuals. These include: foxglove, delphinium, poppies, rudbeckia, bells of ireland, and carnations. You can also winter sow flowers like yarrow, strawflower, calendula, echinacea (coneflower), larkspur, snapdragons, sweet william, scabiosa, and canterbury bells. Winter sowing also works well with perennials to get them started earlier.

This is how winter sowing works: the milk carton acts as a mini greenhouse, keeping plants warm. By leaving the lid off, it allows rain and snow to water the seedlings. In drier climates, you may need to water the milk jugs if there is a dry spell. In some climates, you can forget about your seedlings for weeks to months at a time, only to discover new plants in the spring!

I hope you enjoy the video! Please let me know in the comments what you're winter sowing this year :)

All my best, Jenny
