Why your veggie garden struggles in winter (and what to do about it)
If your garden slows down or fails every winter, it’s not just bad luck.
It usually comes down to three things:
• Cold soil stops seeds from germinating
• Too much moisture leads to rot
• Lack of sunlight slows growth right down
Most people try to fix this by changing what they plant.
But the real issue is the environment.
When you protect your garden from the elements and create more stable conditions, everything changes — stronger growth, better survival, and a longer season.
That’s the difference between a garden that stops… and one that keeps producing.
