If you live in the warm winter frost-free zones of 9b, 10, 11, or 12, these seeds are for you! Because hot summers often make outdoor growing less ideal, winter is a prime time to grow a garden. Try some of these January recommendations.
Outdoors (veg & herbs): Mustard, lettuce, arugula, spinach, swiss chard, kale, collards, bunching onion, cilantro, dill, parsley, carrots, beets, radishes, turnips, kohlrabi, fennel, peas, fava beans, komatsuna, or tatsoi.
Cover crops: Crimson clover, hairy vetch, winter rye, oats; in low deserts, add forage peas or bell beans. Consider our All-Purpose Cover Crop Mix.
Flowers: Calendula, nasturtium, sweet peas, viola/and pansy.
Starts to begin now (under lights): Leeks, chives, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kohlrabi, lettuce, celery, parsley, thyme, oregano, sage, artichoke, and bulbing onions (short/intermediate-day).
Tip: Monitor frost warnings and cover with lightweight row cover as needed. Succession-sow every 2–3 weeks. Be proud - the rest of us are jealous!
