Growing plants from seed is a great way to start gardening earlier in the season. With the right light, soil and some simple equipment, it’s easy to grow from seed to harvest. All you need is a sunny window or some grow lights, a basic seed-starting mix, some trays or small pots, and a seedling heat mat if you want to accelerated growth.

SEED STARTING IS FUN, EASY AND IS SO REWARDING!

Starting your own seeds indoors expands the selection of crops that you can grow. This is especially relevant because we live in a cold climate with a relatively short growing season. We are located in climate zone 3, so slow maturing crops like peppers, onions, leeks, celery, and tomatoes have to be started before spring in order for them to reach maturity during the summer months.

At Shelmerdine, we’re excited to be your experts for all things seeds!
