Our next step is to start Winter Sowing, which is the main portion of my Gold Award. The concept of Winter Sowing is starting seeds outdoors in the winter. We would do this by creating mini greenhouses using clear containers such as milk jugs; soda liter bottles, or any type of containers with lids. These containers are to be left outside all winter long and allowing these seeds to be with the elements, such as rain and snow. By early Spring, your seeds will germinate and you should have seedlings that can be planted in your garden! This process does not require much work, since you are leaving out your containers all winter. More information on this topic will follow.
