January may feel quiet in the garden, but it’s actually the perfect month for seed starting ! Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting started, January is the ideal time to prepare for a successful spring garden . By starting seeds indoors, trying winter sowing, and planning your garden, you’ll enjoy healthier plants, earlier harvests, and beautiful blooms . At Logan’s Garden Center, we’re here to help you make the most of January gardening. Why January Seed Starting Matters Many vegetables, herbs, and flowers need a long growing season to thrive. By starting seeds indoors now, you give plants the time they need to develop strong roots and sturdy stems before moving outdoors. Even cold-hardy vegetables like kale, spinach, and lettuce benefit from an early start. Starting seeds in January also means: Faster spring harvests Stronger, healthier plants Less stress during the busy planting season What to Start Indoors in January Some plants need extra time to grow and do best when started under lights or on a warm windowsill. Try starting these in January: Vegetables: Peppers (bell and hot) Eggplant Onions from seed Leeks Celery Herbs: Basil Thyme Oregano Sage Parsley Flowers: Petunias Snapdragons Begonias Lobelia Geraniums 💡 Pro tip: Use grow lights in January—natural sunlight is often too weak for seedlings this month. Winter Sowing: Let Nature Do the Work Winter sowing is an easy way to start cold-hardy seeds outdoors using recycled containers like milk jugs. It’s low-maintenance and produces strong, resilient seedlings . Try winter sowing these plants: Pansies and violas Kale and spinach Lettuce Calendula Winter sowing is perfect for gardeners who want early blooms and vegetables without relying entirely on indoor seed starting.
