Extending Your Gardening Season


Wipe away those winter blues by planning your spring garden.  Extending your garden season starts in January.  Start prepping your beds for an early planting under a cloche.  I'm planning one bed for lettuce and greens.  Get started by planting your seeds indoors under a light.  Use a warming pad if it is cold.  I have a place out in the barn where I start my seeds, so unheated it needs a little warmth underneath.

Plan out your garden.  Forget about winter and get busy!

In January you can start indoors:

Vegetables:
Leeks and Onions
Artichokes, Cardoon, Endive and Lettuce

Flowers:
Bee Balm
Carnations and Pinks
Dahlia  (from seed)
Geraniums
Lawn Daisy
Petunia
Roman Chamomile
Snapdragon
Viola
Wallflower
Wax Begonia
Yarrow
