Cold stratification
Winter sown seeds in the cold frame

In this episode Emma talks about things to do in snowy gardens and winter sowing. To find out more about winter sowing, check out WinterSown.org and for more on sowing and harvesting crops throughout the winter have a look at What to sow in autumn & winter on the Real Seeds website. If you can’t see your garden under the snow then perhaps Indoor Salads would be more your thing at the moment!

Emma also kicks off her Edible Flowers project with winter sown capers and crimson flowered broad (fava) beans and continues her Tea project by sowing basil seeds.

We also have our first report from AKG Correspondents Robb and Jackie from the Sustainable Living Project.
