Thank you so much for this article. I have been very intimidated by the thought of winter sowing, so I never looked into it enough to give it a try. i have been with NGA for a little while, but I haven't been active since I'd lived in an apartment and didn't have much room to grow things. My wife and I recently purchased a house (also in Zone 8!) and we will be moved in during the month of December. That should put me in a PERFECT position to try winter sowing this year!
I had a question about tomato plants, as that's where I think I'd like to start. How much room do you think I should give the little seedlings in my milk container? Obviously following the plant database recommendations for space, but have you tweaked it at all to give them room for a little more of a head start?
Again, thank you so much for the article! It's very concise and has all the information I need to pluck up my courage and start winter sowing this year!
