Observing the Natural Environment
This database was created by members of the Winter Sowing Forum. It is suggested as a guide and can be used to assist you in choosing seeds for Winter Sowing. If a plant is not yet listed in the database it does not imply the plant cannot be wintersown, but rather, that perhaps it has not yet been tried by Winter Sowing in that particular zone.
