March 13 column: Vegetable seeds

When planting vegetable seeds, there are some that should be sown directly into the garden and others that do better when started indoors first. But which is which?

In my column in today’s edition of The Spokesman-Review, I take the mystery out of sowing seeds and am hoping you’ll find it really helpful. Here is a link to it: Different seeds need different starts.

In it, I list the crops that prefer to be planted right into the garden, primarily because they don’t like their roots to be disturbed. Others need a bit of a head start indoors, before they should be planted out into the garden.

Before you know it, you’ll be a pro at starting your veggies from seeds! As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to drop me a note. Just look for the little red envelope icon on the right side of every page on this site.
