If you are a keen gardener, then you don't have to wait for spring to start growing plants - you can germinate them indoors!
Moreover, some plants grow much faster and stronger if you start growing them in winter, because it's warm and nice indoors.
Here are a few ideas of plants you can start growing in winter on your windowsill.
Herbs
You can grow herbs like basil, parsley, and cilantro indoors during winter. They do well on windowsills with plenty of sunlight.
Leafy Greens
Plants like lettuce, spinach, and kale can be started indoors. They don't need as much sunlight as some other plants.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes can be started indoors in winter. They need a bit more care and light, so consider using grow lights if you have them.
Peppers
Bell peppers and chili peppers can be started indoors. Like tomatoes, they benefit from grow lights.
Onions
You can grow green onions or scallions indoors. They are easy to grow in pots.
Broccoli and Cauliflower
These cool-season veggies can be started indoors. They need plenty of light.
Flowers
If you're into flowers, you can start marigolds, petunias, and pansies indoors during winter.
Root Vegetables
Some root vegetables like carrots and radishes can be grown in deep pots or containers indoors.
Conclusion
Germinate these plants indoors in winter, so you can easily transplant them in spring without losing precious time.
