Check out the winter sowing forum for complete instructions, but once you try it, you'll never plant seeds any other way.
The thing is it sounds impossible, especially for heat-loving seeds like tomatoes, and you'll think it'll never work, but it does!
Basically, you sow the seeds in jugs in the dead of winter. The jugs act as little greenhouses. You'll start getting sprouts
and then as spring arrives, they'll really take off and you'll be busy planting all sorts of things. It's wonderful!
