Sowing and growing homegrown vegetables is an enjoyable year-round hobby, and there are several crops you can plant even in the early weeks of the year. Many growers will start their vegetables off come spring, but you can get ahead of the game by sowing some seeds in January.
In my days as a professional kitchen gardener, I was growing vegetables year-round for chefs. This meant that I had to sow crops early in the year to extend the potential cropping season for as long as possible - for example, I started growing tomatoes in January - and was also sowing and cropping microgreens through winter.
