Is there anything more cheering on a snowy January day than browsing through seed catalogs or doing a little online dreaming about what you’ll plant when spring finally comes?
In just a few weeks, it will be time to start some slower-germinating seeds indoors. Seeds of other faster-germinating flowers and vegetables should be started indoors in mid-March. And still others do best directly sown right into the soil, usually in May.
Buy your seed from the right source and you’re more likely to have success in turning those tiny and sometimes pricey nuggets into big, beautiful, productive plants.
