How to Pre-Seed your Garden in Fall for an Early Spring Harvest

September 8, 2020 by Heather Buckner

I am the kind of gardener who tends to get overexcited and take on too much, and then I become overwhelmed when there is just too much to do! Does this sound like you?

I am therefore always on the lookout for easier ways to do things.

So when I learned that I could start seeds in the fall to get a head start on the next season, I was all in!

Pre-seeding is a simple method to get a jump-start on a bigger, better garden next season.

With just a few minutes of extra work during autumn, you will be rewarded next spring with better germination rates, earlier sprouts, and healthier, more robust plants.

Read on to learn how to pre-seed your vegetable garden in the fall for an early harvest the following spring.

Diana Here: This is brilliant! I have ‘accidentally’ done this in the past and it works for me in Zone 5. After suffering a few weeks of, ‘Seasonal Garden Burn Out’ I’m ready to hit it again, with the cooler temps we’re having now. :)

Thanks for this on pre-seeding .... going to try it!

Ordered 2 of the Jon Forti (Heirloom Gardener) books .... 1 new, to gift ... one “like new” for myself - even paying shipping, saved me over $6.00. I’m really looking forward to getting into this book!

That reminds me .... I need to go check the children’s books you recommended - I have ‘free shipping’ for 24 hours, regardless of amount :-)
