I’m in the middle of Winter 2, cranking out plenty of crops by using Winter seeds and crafting the grown plants back into Winter Seeds. However, if my math is correct, I’m going to end up with 4-5 days at the end of the month where my fields will be barren. Can I use either of the Speed Gro fertilizers to speed up the growth of these plants?

You need to place the Tapper on the tree, and it needs to be on a fully grown tree (aka no stumps).
Prices and production time will vary based on the tree you attached it to, but it can take up to 8 days. I've included screenshots below showing the prices and production time of the different products (source), as well as an image showing the three different trees you can tap.
If you want to increase your running speed, you can buy Coffee in the Saloon for $300, which will increase your running speed for two minutes. Make sure to stock a lot of those if you are going for this option.
You also have the possibility to use some cooking recipes to craft the following items :
- A Pepper Poppers for 1 Hot Pepper and 1 Cheese
- A Spicy Eel for 1 Eel and 1 Hot Pepper
- A Super Meal for 1 Bok Choy, 1 Cranberry and 1 Hazelnut.
All of those will also add one point to your speed for a certain amount of time.
Later in the game, you can also obtain a horse as soon as you will have built a Stable. The stable comes with the horse when you buy it which is an added bonus.

SpeedGro makes your crops grow 10% faster. So with winter crops that take 7 days to produce, it will reduce the grow time by 1 day (assuming that it will round up from .7 days). In your case, using SpeedGro still won't give you enough time to produce a harvest in the 4-5 days you will have leftover. Don't worry about not producing anything in those 5 days, you can of course still be productive by using these days to mine or upgrade your farming tools.
