Gardening in the Mountains Presents:
Winter Sowing
John Bowen is a Buncombe County (NC) Extension Master GardenerSM Volunteer. He has been growing his own seedlings for years and he’s learned some tricks to make that easier. In this three part video presentation he will share techniques for sowing seeds outdoors in containers in mid-winter. This is an edited video of a class he taught for the Black Mountain Sowing Circle and the Buncombe County Black Mountain Library.
Do you try to grow good seedlings indoors with limited success? Are you out of lights and windowsills? Do you have perennial seeds that are hard to germinate? Do you have the winter blahs and just want to plant something?
In this three-part video on Winter Sowing, John Bowen talks about the materials and processes for planting your seeds outdoors in containers in mid-winter. It’s a low-fuss process that can produce good, strong, spring transplants, even from those difficult-to-germinate seeds requiring extended wet chilling. It uses materials you probably have on hand and it’s a great way to start your own spring vegetable and perennial transplants.

The conference will offer more than a dozen workshops led by farmers and regional professionals, including several that address the continued effects of COVID-19 on the industry, such as Direct Marketing in the Time of COVID, Optimizing Your Online Store, and Planning for Meat Sales in 2021. The conference also includes a business planning track in collaboration with Mountain BizWorks. The popular Grower-Buyer Meeting will return in a virtual format, giving farmers the chance to meet individually with grocers, distributors, and chefs. Farmers can receive one-on-one support on legal, recordkeeping, marketing, and production planning issues.
The Apprentice Link database connects people who are serious about learning the sustainable farming trade with farmers who are willing to teach them in an apprenticeship setting. Our programs’ emphasis is specifically in the Southern Appalachians, with a focus on farms that participate in local Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training (CRAFT) programs.
To be included in this listing, Organic Growers School has vetted each farm to determine of the following criteria has been met:
- Farms are actively engaged in the local community.
- Farms are using organic and/or sustainable production methods. Organic Certification and other certifications are not required, but we do ask that farms and farmers are “in-the-know” and conscientiously practicing organic standards.
- Farms are dedicated to training new farmers by providing education as a pinnacle element of their apprenticeship program.

Let’s start 2021 off right with a Revival Meeting! 2020 has been a great reminder of how we are in desperate need of permaculture principles and indigenous practices of working with Nature. People like you are needed right now more than ever!
This meeting will be an online roundtable meet & greet to discuss how we can grow as a community of like-minded permaculture folk, and stay in communication with each other as we move forward through this Great Reset.
I have set the time for 1 hour, but am open to see where the flow takes us …
