January#
It's time for garden catalogs to arrive in the mail. January is a great time to start planning what vegetable varieties
will be grown in the garden. Look through your catalogs and find the vegetable seeds for your garden. Some
flower varieties should be started in January. In a warmer environment you can plant certain vegetables but must
be ready for a frost. Indoor herbs are always great to grow in a sunny windowsill.
Tomatoes and Peppers
Get a head start on the growing season by starting your tomato and pepper seeds indoors. Most tomatoes and
peppers will take 6-8 weeks to reach transplant size so plan according to your climate zone!
Suggested tomato variety: Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Roma, Sweetie, Heirloom Blend
Suggested pepper variety: California Wonder, Early Jalapeno, Sweet Banana, Super Chili
Onions
Late January is a great time to start your onion seeds indoors if you live in a warmer gardening zone (6-10) For
zones 1-5 start your onion seeds in mid-late February. Let the onions grow to 5-6 inches tall and cut tops off so
they will be only 3 inches. Repeating this until they are transplanted helps strengthen the roots and health of the

onions.
Suggested onion varieties: Sweet White Walla Walla, Candy Hybrid, Yellow Sweet Spanish, Nebuka Evergreen
Herbs
Herbs are defiantly the most popular indoor plant to grow throughout the winter months. Try your hand at these 5
most popular herbs. Also check out the Urban Farmer Herb Kit
Suggested variety: Basil, Chives, Oregano, Parsley, Thyme
Annual and Perennial Flowers
Now is a great time to get your spring flowers germinating and ready for spring! There are many different
varieties of annuals and perennials with different grow times. Pay attention to grow times so that your flowers are
ready to be planted after last frost. Below are some good varieties to start in January for a last frost in March and
April!
Annuals: Zinnas, Marigolds, Geraniums
Perennials: Rudbeckias, Daisies, Poppies, Coneflowers

February
Get your garden planning started. In some warmer locations you can begin sowing your vegetable seeds
outdoors. For cooler areas, February is a great time to sow your tomatoes and peppers. Start drawing out your
garden for all the vegetables you want to grow. In late February there are several cool weather vegetables you
can directly sow out in the garden. February is a great time to try a Garden Shot!
Broccoli
If you live in a warmer climate and can find a quick growing Broccoli variety you can harvest until it bolts in the
hot summer sun!
Suggested variety: Calabrese
Herbs:
Plant heat loving herbs like basil, oregano, thyme and sage.
Suggested varieties: Italian Basil, Greek Oregano, Dill
Lettuce
Start a crop of salad mix greens that gets bright sun but not all day. Great for spring crops until the lettuce begins

Peppers
Fresh, crisp peppers are a garden favorite. Peppers take up little space and can produce high yields when
planted close together. Plant as many different varieties as possible. They come small, big, hot, mild, and an
array of different colors. Start seeds 8-10 weeks before your last frost date indoors for best results.
Suggested variety: California Wonder, Early Jalapeno, Sweet Banana, Super Chili
Tomatoes
The most popular garden vegetable. Growing tomatoes is not only fun but treats you to some of the best tasting
