Seeds to Start Indoors from February to April
Note: I start herbs such as St. John’s Wort or Common Wormwood that have an extended period to germination in February. The rest I start the end of March which gives them 4-6 weeks until being planted outside after last frost.
Start in Flats:
Onion Seeds
Celery
Celeriac
Herbs
Start in 3” Peat Pots: If you are concerned about having enough days to maturity the following list can be started in peat pots to prevent their roots from being disrupted when planted out.
Luffa
Cucumber
Squash
Pumpkin
Melons
Seed Starter Trays:
Peppers
Tomatoes
Ground Cherries
Cold Frame:
Broccoli
Cauliflower

This is also the time you should trim fruit trees, raspberries, gooseberries, grape vines, roses, etc.
