I can’t remember all of them. I seem to remember that the cucumber seeds and squash seeds did very well. You can do almost all of them. The seeds that you have to soak/nick do really well with this type of sowing.

Try painting over the labels with clear nail enamel or clear varnish. It keeps it from fading.

Hi Catherine,

I have to admit that I don’t know which tomatoes did well last year as I used a Sharpie on my labels – with the exposure over the winter months, the writing just faded away. I did have a few tomatoes grow from winter sowing and I put them in my flower bed to ramble about. I didn’t water them as I would have if they’d been in my vegetable garden. Needless to say, they didn’t fruit – most likely due to the lack of attention I paid them. I don’t think the Moscow did well as I didn’t pull out any determinates from the flower bed at the end of the season.

I’m totally inspired! We have no south facing windows or space for that matter for starting seeds indoors. I’ve never heard of winter sowing before, but I’m very excitted at the prospect as in theory this could work well for us. Your success at it certainly helps me believe I could also have luck with this as I too am in Kemptville!
