From winter prep to a fall harvest!
This past winter, our residents tried winter sowing — a creative outdoor seed-starting method that uses recycled containers as mini-greenhouses! 🌱
Seeds are planted in containers, which are then left outside during winter to undergo a natural cold stratification. When spring arrives, the seeds germinate naturally, and the seedlings emerge already acclimated to the outdoors, eliminating the need for grow lights, heat mats, or the hardening-off process.
Those seedlings were later transferred to our garden beds, lovingly cared for all summer, and have now rewarded us with a beautiful harvest of fruits and veggies!
