Now that I’ve convinced you not to start your seedlings much too early…

It’s time to discuss all the things you can plant in the coming weeks. If you can’t resist “the green itch” any longer, that’s okay. There are quite a few vegetables that you can get started, no matter where you are on the hardiness zone map. Granted what I can start in January and you can may be different, but every gardener will find things they can get going on this list.

I like planting like this. It feels less overwhelming. 

This week, I’m going to get all of my gear cleaned, prepped and ready to plant, so this weekend I can get seeds going for things like peppers and artichokes. Between all that, I’ve got my colored pencils out, and I’m finalizing my garden layout for this year.
