Are you ready to think about seed starting?
First ask these questions:  1.  How much room is there for a garden?  2.  Do I want Soul Food (flowers) or Belly Food? or  Both?
Granny Tip:  It is fun and productive to grow flowers among the vegies & vice versa.  Remember the “good” bugs need flowers for food.  Growing alyssum, sweet peas, sunflowers & more will attract bees & butterflies.
Flower seeds to start indoors now:  Bachelor’s Button, Sweet Peas, Echinacea, Snap Dragons
Vegetables to start indoors now:  Sprouts, Micro Greens, Lettuce & all the cool weather greens.  Be patient and wait to start peppers & tomatoes in February or March.
