THIS!!! is why I winter sow!🌱🌱🌱🍅🌶🍆💐

I am nearing the end of my seedling growing process using winter sowing and sharing with you how successful this year has been.

SO happy I watched your video, yesterday! Getting ready to plant out my winter sown seedlings and needed trays for the cups. Dropped by HD and picked up six free trays, per your suggestion! Have really appreciated your videos, especially with regard to transplanting these!! Thanks again, Ruth

I know that this probably will hurt so much, since you have been babying these plants in the hope of seeing them produce fruit. But when you transplant your babies, pinch the flowers out (I know it sounds crazy) but when you transplant that baby into its final home you want the plant to focus on strengthening its root system before it start giving energy to fruit production. I learn the hard way. I promise once the root it’s solid you will get lots of blooms. Good luck from some day “Clara’s Crazy adventures” (girl can dream lol)

I keep watching this this to reassure me on my first time winter sowing everything. 😂 Thank you for sharing!

Esther, these winter sowing videos are very helpful, I’m going to be binge watching these 😊

Hi Esther, I just found your videos and love them! I read in one of comments a question about repelling critters...I live in VA (for what it"s worth) and I plant a lot of things - seeds, bulbs, plants - in pots, and crushed red pepper (like you put on pizza) really does the trick.

greetings from Chicago
I will be trying this technique for the first time!
fingers crossed

This why I winter sow too! It's so easy and I think the plants are much healthier and tougher for being out in the elements.

My 1st time W S, .flowers only, want a C G, will do veggies in raised beds also, so excited how this will turn out...I'm in 9b far northern ca, when can i plant these in their beds ?

Beautiful! Maybe I can meet to plant some this weekend.

[doodlesanddigs]

Awesome! I’ve never done it myself, but clearly it’s a great option! ❤️🌷

Your seedling are looking wonderful. Rudgers are the heartiest tomato of my bunch.I planted all my tomatoes and squash plants tonight.

Hi Esther, thanks for sharing all your experiences and keeping it real. Couple of questions... When you pot up your extras do you add a bit of organic fertilizer?
Also: Have you had any critters nibbling on your newly opened jugs (I have lots of squirrels and chipmunks here in Maine...)
Do you think tulle would keep them away? Thanks from a fan!
