Warmer days may still be some way off, but you can start off many vegetables today to enjoy a super-early start to your growing season.
Onions, cauliflowers and radishes are just some of the vegetables that can be started early, using techniques such as direct sowing with protection and indoor sowing under grow lights.
In this short video we’ll share with you five easy ways to get sowing right now.

I'm planting Tomato seedlings under grow lights next week. I will probably wait a month to plant pepper seedlings, because even in southern California, putting them out too early can be a waste. The risk of frost can be gone but the peppers don't really grow until the weather warms up.
Some great ideas, I may give that milk jug mini greenhouse a try!
Thanks!
My coworker was telling me about how he would get up in the night to put wood in the stove in his greenhouse in February for his tomato plants! In summer though he would actually make money selling tomatoes. Here in Alaska, with about 60 or so frost free days tomatoes don't do all that well. Peppers winter indoors surprisingly well, I've gotten peppers in spring because of that.
We grow many seeds with additional led grow lights. What about the temperature and frosty nights?

winter sowing, in gallon milk jugs, juice and water bottles. i
Nice
#TowerGarden by JuicePlus+ , with grow lights indoors, allows the early start of these veggies, and the opportunity to roll the tower right outside when the weather allows!
Love your jug idea… may try it with our Farmers' Market Juice containers.
This year, I sowed onion seeds in December, then covered the bed with seaweed. The seaweed will be left to deteriorate and work it's way into the soil. I've no idea what to expect, but time will tell!
Thank you, can you show something about which flowers can be started early both perennial and annuals? Some can be started in a nursery without heat at all, only light, and some must be planted in a basement with light and warmth. It would be really helpful if someone would come up with a list of the most popular flowers in the cooler regions of which is which, but thank you anyway. Nice cold frame.
I love the Garden Planner! But, it doesn't seem to allow for altitude. I'm at 1,000 ft. up, so how much more time should I wait before planting?
Cheers for the info. I've been winter sowing since before Xmas. Got broad beans, peas, a variety of perennials and annuals all outside doing well. Cheers, Marina
I started my seeds yesterday. using the bottle method. Subscribe to my channel thank you
We have grown fingerling potatoes in 33 gallon garbage cans (clean 😉 ) and drilled drainage holes in bottom. Every time the leaves push through, we had a couple more shovels of dirt. Once full, we have a small crop filling the container. We dump it when ready pick out our potatoes. Good space saver, keeps them from spreading too much, and isolating plant in case of disease is helpful. Hard part is to keep them cool.
I want to start growing veg in my small garden now, can you tell me if using that miracle grow is a good idea to put as new soil? also are those plastic green house's good?
Hope you keep the videos coming,very good video and a like the bottle idea,Ally
thanks for the tips
This year I'm planting sage, arugula, radishes, kale, spinach and thyme early (in mid-March). Spring is surprisingly early this year and these plants are cold-hardy enough to survive few frosts in April, if they do happen down the road. I cover beds with black plastic for few days to few week before planting, to warm up the soil and germinate and kill weeds, giving head start to what I sow.
Great info thank you! Which computer program did you use for garden planning? Thanks
Super great video! Thank you for sharing with us 🙂 My earliest crop, which I sow in February is lettuce followed by Tomatoes, Peppers, herbs, spinach and many more. I'm always looking forward to starting in spring 🙂
enjoyed your video
This garden planner program is bad ass!
When is the garden planner available for Android users?
I've just finished creating a new salad/early veggie bed here in sunny Spain. But, wait for it……. the ground has been white with frosts for nearly a week! Inland Costa Blanca gets frosts – it's not always warm and sunny lol I'll wait couple of weeks then cover it with fleece to help warm it up before sowing. Loving your bite-sized videos Ben.
