Pre-Seed Vegetable Seeds

To seed in advance for fall, winter, and spring.

Advancing seeds for fall, winter, and spring gardens means starting or preparing seeds early—either by sowing, pre-seeding, or transplanting—so that you maximize your growing time, especially in climates with short seasons like much of Canada.

Here’s a breakdown of which seeds you can advance (start early or pre-seed) for Fall, Winter, and Spring harvests and how to do it:

Fall Garden (Plant in Summer for Fall Harvest)

Start seeds in July–August, either directly in the garden or indoors for transplanting.

Great seeds to advance:

  • Leafy Greens: Kale, spinach, Swiss chard, mustard greens, arugula
  • Root Vegetables: Carrots, beets, radishes, turnips
  • Brassicas: Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts

🧑🌾 Tips:

  • Pre-seed indoors or under shade during hot summer.
  • Harden off seedlings before transplanting in cooler fall soil.
  • Use row covers or cold frames to extend the season into late fall.

Creating a Winter Garden from seed involves selecting hardy, cold-tolerant crops that can either be sown in late summer/early fall for winter harvest or overwintered for early spring harvest. Here's a list of seed varieties ideal for a winter garden, especially in Canadian and northern U.S. zones:


🌱 Winter Garden Seed Varieties

🥬 Leafy Greens

  • Kale (‘Winterbor’, ‘Red Russian’) – Extremely cold-hardy.
  • Spinach (‘Bloomsdale Long Standing’, ‘Giant Winter’) – Sweetens with frost.
  • Swiss Chard – Survives mild winters with mulch.
  • Mâche (Corn Salad) – Very cold-tolerant; perfect for salad greens.
  • Claytonia (Miner’s Lettuce) – Thrives in cool, damp conditions.

🥕 Root Vegetables

  • Carrots (‘Napoli’, ‘Merida’) – Can be overwintered in the ground with mulch.
  • Beets – Early fall sowing gives sweet winter roots.
  • Turnips – Fast-growing and frost-tolerant.
  • Parsnips – Require frost to develop flavor; sow midsummer.
  • Rutabaga – Cold-hardy and stores well.

🥦 Brassicas

  • Cabbage (‘January King’, ‘Wintergreen’) – Overwinters with protection.
  • Broccoli (‘Purple Sprouting’, ‘Calabrese’) – Best for overwintering in mild climates.
  • Brussels Sprouts – Improves with frost.

🌿 Herbs

  • Parsley – Cold-hardy biennial.
  • Chives – Hardy perennial, regrows early in spring.
  • ThymeOregano, and Sage – Hardy perennials in many zones.

🧤 Tips for Winter Gardening Success

  • Use Cold Frames or Row Covers to extend harvest and protect seedlings.
  • Mulch heavily to insulate soil and root crops.
  • Choose short-day or overwintering varieties specifically labeled for cold climates.
  • Succession plant in late summer (August–September) for a steady supply through winter.

🌱 Spring Garden (Start in Late Winter or Very Early Spring)

Advance seeds indoors in February–March to transplant after the last frost.

Ideal for seed advancement:

  • Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant (start 6–8 weeks before last frost)
  • Brassicas (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower)
  • Herbs: Parsley, dill, thyme
  • Lettuce, onions, leeks (early starters)
  • Peas: Soak and pre-sprout for fast germination

💡 Tips:

  • Use grow lights or sunny windowsills.
  • Harden off plants before transplanting outdoors.
  • Use cold frames to get an early start in the ground.
