Fall and Frost Seeding

Did you know that Fall and Winter are excellent times to sow seed? 

Frost seeding can occur on a hard frost in the morning or even on a light snow on frozen ground. The seed sets in the soil as the soil freezes and thaws.  The cold moist conditions during winter acts to stratify the seed allowing it to begin the germination cycle. When spring comes and the soil warms up, the seed complete germinating and the plant begins to grow.
