I thought since there are now a few comments on winter sowing, I'd parse out this to a different conversation.
Background, I'm in northwestern OH, zone 6a. Haven't seen much snow yet this year unfortunately and we do have some significant winds from time to time.
And if it's easier to take it offline, please send me a treemail.
What does and doesn't work well for winter sowing?
I'm considering the following:
Non-herbs - Asparagus, Artichoke, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, bok choy, onion, leek, swiss chard, spinach, rhubarb, beets, radish
Herbs - Parsley, chives, garclic chives, rosemary, sage, thyme, marjoram, tarragon, summer savory, basils, dill,
Ones I'm not sure about:
Celery, celeriac
If those are all doable, how many spots/gallon container do I do? i.e. I know things like artichokes are bigger and can probably only do 3 or 4 in the gallon container... But what about thinks in the brassica family? Asparagus?
What about those herbs? How many per container?
I know alliums have very sturdy roots and can more easily be teased apart, so the onions can all be packed in together, chives I can replant the clump or divide the clump if I want to...
Aside from these edibles, what other edibles have you tried the winter sowing technique for?
I'm not big into non-edibles, but will be learning them... this year if time/milk jugs allow...
