Winter sowing

Advantages

• It is simple to do.
• It's efficient. You do not have to run grow lights for weeks at a time when starting seeds indoors.
• You don't need to worry about having leggy seedlings because they are planted and grown outdoors.
• There is no need to harden off the seedlings as they are already acclimated to outdoor conditions. They are ready to plant whenever the outside temperature has sufficiently warmed.
• Saves space indoors for plants that need to be started prior to planting outside.
• It allows someone who doesn't have the room, a grow light setup, nor the window space available indoors to start seeds successfully.
• Prevents seeds from being washed away or eaten.
• It gives you something to do gardening-wise during winter/early spring.
