It’s Sow Easy”: Sowing Outdoors in Winter, Part 2

Tuesday, May 14th

When we last left our winter sowers, they were putting seeds and soil in their fresh plastic jugs and getting them set up in an ideal location in their yard. Now, it’s time to check in on the success of their seeds and start dividing!

Sample copy: Michelle Mero Riedel and the Minnesota State Horticultural Society are back with round two of “It’s Sow Easy: Sowing Outdoors in Winter”. Whether you joined part one or not, you can sign up for this online webinar and learn how winter sowers can check in on their seedlings’ germination, start splitting and transplanting, and more.
