Monica Milla is passionate about gardening. A Master Gardener, she has been involved in a number of unique local gardening projects. Equally unique is the concept of winter seed sowing - sowing seeds in the dead of winter - and expecting them to grow.  But as one of those who was skeptical about it all, I simply had to try it.

What do you know? It works! Milla breaks it all down in her book, Fun With Winter Seed Sowing. Everything you need to know about this technique of jump-starting the growing season is here, with photographs and easy-to-follow instructions. There are also extensive lists of what to grow and other resources for further reading.

The book itself might be considered more of a spiral-bound manuscript (with sturdy plastic covers), and at only 37 pages, may seem a bit pricey, but it's worth every penny for its thorough treatment of the subject and would be perfect as a textbook for a class on how to winter sow. Milla even offers a discount on orders of eight or more copies. For more information, visit her website.

Monica Milla has over 20 years' experience as a writer and editor, working primarily in technical and marketing communications for high-tech companies. She has written many gardening articles and authors two blogs. The Garden Faerie is published once a week for annarbor.com and covers gardening tips, plant info, gardening events, and trips to gardens and garden centers. Garden Faerie's Musings is her personal blog, also primarily about gardening, which often shows what's blooming in her garden.
