Depending on what you want to grow it might be too early to start seeds, but we have planting on the brain!
The use of transplants enables the gardener to grow warm-season vegetables to maturity outdoors, hasten maturity of cool-season vegetables and achieve a longer bloom period for many annual flowers. Based on usual home temperatures (68° to 72°F) with at least 10 hours of daylight, the average number of weeks needed to grow transplants to the proper sizes are indicated below. Subtract the number of weeks listed from the average date of the last spring frost in your locality to determine planting dates. Less favorable growing conditions may require the longer period of time.
Our publication, Seed Starting and Transplanting, has information on how far out you’ll want to start certain seeds, what materials are needed, what sort of light and heat is needed and how to harden off and set the plants out.
