    • What can I plant in my garden in winter? In upstate NY?

    March 11th, 2010 | portal.cgkz.com | edit

  • I live near Syracuese, and I want to start a garden, what should I start growing? The tempature today was 22 degrees.

    Should I just start growing things in jars? Will they die, if I plant them in jars inside the house? I kinda want something to plant in my house as well, but nothing toxic as I'm having a baby and I have cats. (Even though the cats won't be able to reach them.)

  • If you can still dig... you could still plant garlic. You can't just go to the grocery store and plant. These are California grown and have a sprout inhibitor. My suggestion would be a porcelain type like Music or German White. Many sources are sold out this time of the year, but there is still seed cloves available- check Ebay.


  • now is when you prepare the soil, start a compost pile, peruse seed/garden catalogs, read gardening books and plan on what you want to plant.

    You could still plant garlic as long as your soil isn't frozen, you could also plant spring bulbs like daffodils, tulips, crocuses, etc.. There are no other things that can be planted now and survive the winter without using a greenhouse and having a lot of gardening experience and knowledge.

    if you start garden plants inside now they will either die before you get them out or be far too big to transplant in may/June (That is when most people in your area start gardens).

    I start my transplants in Mid April to be transplanted in May/June. they require artificial lighting (I use florescent shop lights)b as veggie plants need at least 13 hours of light to grow well and in winter and a lot of the spring we get far less than that.


  • absolutely nothing out side now wait till spring yes u can plant indoors now but it might be a little trying i planted some appleseeds the other day and it is growing cool.i would put them potting soil instead of jars good luck.


  • right now you can plant lettuce
