Gardens in Winter
Did you know that you could start your garden when there is still snow on the ground? No, I am not crazy! Start plants indoors, and they will be ready for early planting. A few good reasons to do this are you will get earlier harvests of many more crops and as your growing season has increased, you can plant more plantings in the season. In northern parts of the country, if you want tomatoes, peppers, eggplant or big onions, you need indoor-started plants, and you will be amazed at all the vegetables and varieties to choose from. Greenhouses usually have four or five kinds of tomato plants on sale in the spring, perhaps Jet Star, Better Boy, Morton, and a couple of others. Some seed catalogues will have up to 40 or more varieties-all the way from the tiny Patio to the giant Beefsteak. Another bonus to growing your own indoor starts for your garden is that instead of buying from others at ridiculously marked up prices, you get 100 seeds for the price of one of their plants. Here is yet another good reason for starting your own seeds. Buying plants from a nursery is convenient, of course, but how well cared for are these plants? Have each been fed the appropriate nutrients? Are they free from insects and diseases? You would know all this if you start your own. You will be happier in the end by planting your own, as you will have peace of mind, larger choices and varieties. In addition, you will have more nutritious foods-as you have maintained them.
Below you will find links which has lots of wonderful information about gardening naturally, and getting a head start before spring. Check back for our next article in this series of Organic Gardening Hints and Tips.
