We are now enjoying the winter fruits of our labour...well not much labour really. We simply purchased a few pots to fit our window sills, filled them with soil and some worm castings, then added seed. We now have swiss chard and kale (cheated here...just moved a plant indoors), Tomatoes about the bloom, peppers, spinach, and lettuce.
All you need is a few nice sunny windows - preferrably south facing, a little time, pot, soil, seed and viola you can have a few 'fresh' veggies in winter too!
Eventually we would love to have an year round greenhouse but for now...a small indoor winter garden will do just fine to add to our canned/preserved food items.
What type of food do you want to grow this year? Now is the time for planning your spring/summer/fall garden...here are some great places I have ordered from (not endorsing just mentioning them):
Note these are primarily for Canadian Gardeners.....

Start dreaming of your garden or start a winter garden and get an early head start!
