👉 Easy Winter Sowing 🌼 Start Your Garden Early in Chicago Suburb (Zone 5)

Hi everyone! In this video, I’m showing you how I plant cilantro, parsley, and kale using the winter sowing method in Chicago suburb (Zone 5). This is my third year using this method, and I’ve had great success with it! I’m primarily a crafter — I run an Etsy shop where I sell custom party decor. But during the summer, I love spending time in my garden. That’s why I decided to create a separate playlist on my channel where I’ll share my gardening experience and tips. Winter sowing is an easy and low-maintenance way to start seeds early — no grow lights or heating mats needed! I’ll walk you through the entire process, from preparing the containers to planting and sealing them. 🌱 Why Winter Sowing Works: ✔️ Seeds naturally adjust to the weather ✔️ No need to harden off seedlings ✔️ Saves space indoors If you’re in a similar climate, give winter sowing a try! Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried this method or if you have any tips.
