Did you know that you can get started on your spring and summer garden RIGHT NOW?? YUP! It is true! It is all thanks to the natural cycle of seeds that have "grown up" in winter environments. Many of them NEED the freeze/thaw cycle to open properly! I have written several posts that walk through winter sowing basics for you -- here they are!
CHAPTER 1 http://www.anestforallseasons.com/2011/01/what-is-winter-sowing-chapter-1.html
CHAPTER 2 http://www.anestforallseasons.com/2011/01/which-seeds-are-ok-for-winter-sowing.html
AND
CHAPTER 3 http://www.anestforallseasons.com/2011/01/winter-sowing-free-way-chapter-3-share.html
I would love to hear your thoughts, experiences and best practices for winter sowing as well!

    It appears the links to the chapters no longer work. I was hoping to see the seed list in chapter two. Do you have another link? Thank you.
