In this video, I share 5 reasons why winter gardening is better than summer gardening! Most gardeners associate gardening with warm weather, but the truth is it's easier to grow vegetables in winter than in summer! This video explains why growing in winter is easier and why growing food all year long is possible no matter where you live.

Summer gardens come with all sorts of challenges, and nature works very hard to take your garden's harvest from you before you get any. This is not the case in winter for most gardeners. Most garden challenges disappear in cold weather, and the only challenge that remains is keeping plants warm enough to grow. Luckily, that is easy, and I'll show you some easy cold protection methods that will make winter gardening season your new favorite growing season!
