I don’t know about you, but I have had enough of winter. \u00a0To me, February means that Spring really isn’t too far away or at least there’s light at the end of the tunnel. \u00a0 You can always count on Old Man Winter to throw in a warm day or two just to tease us plus<\/i> it’s time to start some veggie seeds indoors. This is one way we can cheer ourselves up in late winter and it\u2019s a great way to get your hands in the dirt, even when it\u2019s still chilly outside.<\/p>\n
There are several good reasons to start plants from seed indoors. Growing your vegetables and herbs and even flowers from seed can be a very rewarding experience. It’s an\u00a0economical\u00a0way of providing fresh veggies for your family.\u00a0 Another reason is you gain between 4 and 6 weeks of growing time.\u00a0 As you probably know,\u00a0 our summers heat up really fast around here so your plants will have had time to established themselves inside before the hot weather arrives outside. You also have many more varieties to choose from because you are not limited to only whats available locally as young plants.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are two reasons not to start from seed and buy young plants at the garden center: 1 – It’s easier, and 2 – It’s less time-consuming. \u00a0 It depends on your situation – but let’s assume you’re going to be bold and start your plants indoors.<\/p>\n
