Seeds and Shiny New Ideas

This week I did some winter sowing, a process of turning plastic jugs into mini winter greenhouses and allowing seeds to germinate on their own when conditions are right. I find the results are hit-or-miss, but if a plant does grow, it tends to be stronger and more acclimated than seeds started indoors. And since I have no space for a greenhouse in my small garden or inside my cottage, winter sowing it is.
