    Start Seeds - Winter Homestead Ideas⁠
    ⁠
    Winter is also a good time to order and then start some seeds. There are some plants that don’t do well when started indoors – you’ll be better off starting them in your garden. Some good examples include pumpkins, cucumbers, and zucchini. However, others, like tomatoes, need to be started indoors at least six weeks prior to the last estimated frost. Plan ahead so that you have all of your seeds, potting soil, and seed containers long before that date. Remember that it can take some time for your seeds to get to you, so don’t wait until the last minute.

    Set Goals and Get Organized - Winter Homestead Ideas⁠
    ⁠
    Another one of my favorite things to do each winter is to write down a few goals I have for the upcoming year. This helps prevent me from becoming overwhelmed in the spring, when it seems like I have a million things to do. It also helps me get (and stay) organized. Plus, it provides a helpful dose of inspiration during the dreariest days of the year!

    Read a Few Homesteading Books | Winter Homestead Ideas⁠

    I tend to save most of my reading for winter, too. Consider picking up a few books on homesteading to educate yourself during the “off-season.” ⁠

    The only downside to doing this is that you’ll find yourself chomping at the bit to return to the farm in the spring!
