Pre-Seed Seasonal Varieties

Pre-seeding is planting your seeds outside in late fall or early winter before the ground freezes.

Plants That You Can Pre-Seed

 

I plant any cold-hardy vegetables that I can find. If I haven’t pre-seeded them before, I’ll give it a go and keep notes in a gardening journal. Sometimes you think specific seeds will work, and they don’t. Other seeds will germinate that you didn’t think would.

 

Look for plants that are:

 

·       Cold-hardy

 

·       Frost resistant (or withstands frost)

 

·       Self-sowing

 

·       Suitable for early spring planting

 

I’ve successfully pre-seeded the following seeds:

 

·       Leeks

 

·       Kale

 

·       Beets

 

·       Onions

 

·       Peas

 

·       Spinach

 

·       Carrots

 

·       Broccolli

 

·       Beans

 

·       Squash

 

·       Turnip

 

·       Celery
