Seed starting indoors for your garden

January might feel quiet in the garden, but it is the perfect time to start cool season vegetables indoors 🌱

Starting seeds early gives plants a strong head start before spring arrives. Crops like onions, leeks, broccoli, cabbage, kale, lettuce, and celery grow slowly and benefit from extra indoor time under lights. Strong seedlings mean earlier harvests and better yields once they move outside 🌞

If you garden in cooler zones, this simple step can make a big difference in how productive your season becomes.
