Winter Garden Bundle
in this bundle:
1. Many vegetables, like radishes, can taste better in the winter as the plant turns starch into sugar to prevent the plant from freezing.
2. Dealing with a super cold snap? Consider using cold frames or mini greenhouses to protect your veggies.
3. Spinach can tolerate freezing temperatures and even continues to grow under a light snow cover.
Winter Garden Seed Bundle Growing Guide
Bella Garden Seeds Growing guides are based on details provided by our botanist to answer your questions and set you up for success. If you have additional questions, email us at hello@bellagardenseeds.com to get the help you need.
🌱 Getting Started
This bundle keeps your garden going when the temperature drops.
Plant in late summer or early fall so crops establish before the coldest weather arrives.
Cold frames or row covers can extend your growing season even further in zones with hard freezes.
☀️ Sun Requirements
Winter sun is lower in the sky and less intense, so you'll want to position your garden where it receives 4–6 hours of direct sun during the shorter days of fall and winter.
Raised beds often work well as they warm up faster on sunny days.
💧 Watering
Cool weather naturally slows water loss, so you'll water less frequently in the winter.
Check soil every 3–4 days and water when the top inch feels dry.
Avoid watering in the late afternoon or evening in cold weather to prevent frost damage to wet foliage.
✂️ Harvesting
Cold temperatures actually improve the flavor of many winter crops.
Frost converts starches to sugars, making greens sweeter and roots more flavorful.
Harvest as needed throughout the season and enjoy your crops at their cold-weather best.
🧺 Storing Your Harvest
Winter crops store well in cool conditions.
Many root vegetables can even be left in the ground and harvested as needed.
Leafy greens keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Root vegetables store in a cool, dark place for weeks to months.

This was my first time growing tomatoes and these grew well. The growing guide was really helpful. Making sauce with my own tomatoes felt like a big deal.
Bought this and it was the perfect starting point. The mix meant something was always growing. So much fun. Thank you
