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.

Ecuador Red Rocoto Hot Pepper Seeds, Equador of Hell, Peru, Rocoto Relleno Pepper Seeds

The meaty walls of the chili provide a lot of bell pepper “pepperiness”: grassy and fresh. But underneath of it all, there's a crisp fruitiness here that's enhanced by the juiciness of the chili itself. In terms of eating experience, as mentioned, think more tomato and less jalapeño.

Juicy and meaty​​ The Rocoto is thick-fleshed and juicy, making the chili an all-time favorite in Peruvian cuisine.Between 100,000 and 250,000

While bell peppers aren't hot at all, the Rocoto pepper is extremely hot. Between 100,000 and 250,000 on the Scoville Heat Index, this pepper is about the size of a bell pepper but is rounder and is typically only red or green. Some people use this pepper to make very spicy sauces.
