Just wanted to say thank you for this info. I had great success this past winter using the plastic bags. Will definitely do again.. adding more seeds to my list next year.
I love this idea...seems easier to water yourself, instead of waiting for rain or trying to water through hole tops of jugs. Thank-you for idea and video
@christiensharden3325 thank you. We moved to a fixer upper this year and my husband plans to make me some raised beds. Hoping to begin ws’ing in February
Thank You so much such a wonderful idea. So much easier and cleaner then anything else. I am from England and was struggling to work out away to start seeds with my 2 granddaughters who are 5 and 2 in San Francisco. They don’t have much gardening knowledge and we didn’t want have a big financial outlay or a mess everywhere. Their mother is going to be so happy that we have a easier way of starting seedlings! 😊
That’s wonderful. In San Francisco, they should probably begin in January. If temps get above 70, air the bags. Heat will kill seedlings. Airing the bags is super easy, though. Such a fun project with your grandchildren!
Hi! Elizabeth I am new to your channel . I am inspired to your seed starting method in ziploc bags it’s seemed like easy/clean and neat versus the traditional milk jugs kind. I did it exactly the way you prepared yours, but I only done half, and the other half I will grow them indoors in my Grow tent just in case it won’t come out so I will have spare to plant. But I am hoping it will work. Thanks Elizabeth for sharing. Your new subscriber 2023😊
@litaanderson1589 thank you! Please watch the other videos showing the remaining steps, like when to water or when to open baggies. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Happy gardening!
Thank you so much for sharing. I came over from Garden Answers. I was looking for a cleaner, more compact way to winter sow. Will definitely give it a try this year.
It's so easy and everything can be used from year to year. We moved in April/May and I just picked up my baggies and brought them to the new house to plant there!
Hello. I want to try this too, but I'm in Korea. Which region are you in? You mentioned starting around January to March, so I'd like to compare the seasons and temperatures here and there before I begin.😊
You should begin in your winter season with seeds from my seed list. This works in US zones 3-9. Do you get freezes, cold or snow? Those are ideal temperatures. Follow on Instagram @wintersowing
Thank you for introducing me to this method! I was getting ready to use milk jugs, but this seems so much better. I was wondering, can you use this method for starting tomato seeds and other non cold hearty vegetables? I'm assuming you'd just have to start them later, maybe around March or April?
Yes, begin those in March. If you get a freeze after they sprout, cover those bags with tomato seeds during the night with a towel. Remove during day. Cold hardy perennials do not need any protection.
I only sowed cold weather crops and some flowers. I will wait for the warm weather crops like tomatoes/peppers and eggplant etc. until maybe the end of March for I am in Zone 5b. Happy gardening!
What’s next? Well, we moved and I took my baggies with seedlings with me in the car and transplanted in the new garden. I used them this year to wintersow a few different flowers and I also spring sowed more flowers. Follow me on instagram to see everything. @wintersowing
@myhusbandsrib yes you can, but the bags will flop over with rain and snow, you can prop them with marshmallow sticks between rocks, logs, milk crates, etc..
For winter sowing, I like to out my bags in full sun. The only special care you need with that is if the temp goes above 70, you will need to open bags during the day. Excessive heat will kill seedlings

This looks great 👍 Does it work even when it’s snow outside?

Sow your seeds between January and March
Thank you for introducing me to this method! I was getting ready to use milk jugs, but this seems so much better. I was wondering, can you use this method for starting tomato seeds and other non cold hearty vegetables? I'm assuming you'd just have to start them later, maybe around March or April?

What’s next with those bags ??
What’s next? Well, we moved and I took my baggies with seedlings with me in the car and transplanted in the new garden. I used them this year to wintersow a few different flowers and I also spring sowed more flowers. Follow me on instagram to see everything. @wintersowing
can I do this without the marshmallow sticks? My raised beds aren't close enough like yours
@myhusbandsrib yes you can, but the bags will flop over with rain and snow, you can prop them with marshmallow sticks between rocks, logs, milk crates, etc..
@@wintersowingwithelizabeth2286 thank u so much, starting now fingers cross!
Do these need to be in full sun?
For winter sowing, I like to out my bags in full sun. The only special care you need with that is if the temp goes above 70, you will need to open bags during the day. Excessive heat will kill seedlings
Mmmmm
Yep.... when you get tired of trying to source enough jugs and pop bottles.
Exactly. It looks a lot neater too and won't fly all over the yard in high wind
What zone are you in?
@TheByzbees I am in 7a/6b
You should link your IG and Tiktok on your about page 💕
Thank you! It took me a while to figure out how to do it!
