Start Seeds Now for a Spectacular Summer Garden

Early spring is seed-starting season. Family planning sessions with catalogs build excitement—and a head start on harvest.

Shop & Plan Together

Measure beds, calculate spacing, order seeds. Let each family member pick a “signature” crop. Frame favorite catalog photos as kitchen art.

Indoor Seed Starting

Tomatoes, peppers, herbs, annual flowers need 6–8 weeks indoors. Use containers with drainage, soilless mix, plastic dome, warmth (top of fridge). Once sprouted, move under adjustable fluorescent lights (2–3 inches above leaves). Harden off in late spring; transplant after frost.

Document the Journey

Photo planting day, transplant day, first harvest. Frame the timeline—it becomes family history.

Start now, and summer tastes like victory.
