this project by Kitchen Garden of Westchester focused on building a garden that was both beautiful and highly functional—designed for daily use, consistent production, and easy maintenance.
Starting seeds indoors isn’t complicated—but it does require consistency. Seeds sprout when temperature, moisture, and light match what that specific plant needs. Here are the seven basics I rely on for strong, even germination.
You don't need to wait until your last frost date to begin planting these crops. While many people eagerly anticipate warmer weather, there's a variety of herbs and vegetables that can flourish in your garden even before temperatures start to climb.
