My First Attempt at Winter Sowing by Dawn Savage

I’m not a big social media person, but I do follow a few gardeners on Instagram and You Tube.  I noticed a topic, Winter Sowing, which kept coming up.  It touted the ability to start seeds without needing indoor space, grow lights, or other specialty equipment.  The upfront costs are empty opaque gallon milk jugs, potting soil, seeds, scissors, duct tape, and some outdoor space.  Why not, I thought.   It will keep my hands busy and my mind dreaming of springtime.
