Starting Seeds at Home
Developed by Marjorie Peronto, associate Extension professor and Theresa Guethler, Extension Master Gardener from the Univeristy of Maine Extension.
When you grow your own seedlings, your transplants can be ready for the garden as soon as the danger of spring frost has passed, giving you a head start on Maine’s short gardening season. You can start enjoying flowers and harvesting vegetables four to six weeks earlier than if you had waited for the ground to warm up enough for you to sow the seeds outside. Click here to learn more.
