What to sow in January Experienced gardeners immediately warn: “Do not sow everything to wipe away.” Remember the place on the windowsill! If you now switch to a huge number of flowers, then when spring comes, this place may not be enough for eggplant, peppers and tomatoes. Remember that.

The winter months are
planting-time "Tugodoum", that is, plants with a long growing season, from seedlings to flowering in which it takes from 130 to 200 days.

From vegetable crops, you can sow root celery, late-ripe cabbage, eggplant, onions and onions of pores. From the berries you can plant small-fruit strawberries and repairable strawberries. Very fertile cultures! For example, small-fruit strawberries with a minimum of effort will give you delicious and fragrant (the same as forest strawberries) berries.

From flowers, you can plant seeds of zonal and ivy-leaved pelargonia, all types of begonia, gloxinia, bells, some types of cloves and eustoma are suitable. And, of course, petunia for subsequent cutting. It is also possible to include plants that require prior stratification, such as lavender, dolphiniums and lupins.

And finally, I want to say that planted seedlings in January will give you an earlier harvest: the flowers will bloom earlier, and the fruits will ripen earlier. If you sow in January, for example, petunia, then by the time of planting in open ground, the plant will already be in the stage of budding.
