Opening winter sowing containers during hot weather

If you are getting some unseasonably warm weather be sure to open up the lids of the containers that have seedlings so they don't fry.

Winter Sowing an Herb Tea Garden

Starting herbs and flowers using the winter sowing method to start a tea garden.  Many of the hebs and flowers used to make teas work well with winter sowing.  Here are the ones I am growing this year.  You don't need much space and can grow all of these in containers.

Winter Sowing Native Flowers and Perennials

Native flowers lend themselves very well to the winter sowing method since most of them require cold stratification and this method naturally provides that freeze and thaw cycle they need to germinate.  Just be sure to winter sow them in January or early February so they get 30 to 60 days of cold stratification.  I'm starting native flower seeds in January and I'm Gardening in NJ, zone 6b
