When to start growing
Traditionally, the growing season begins in early spring. If you’re just starting out growing, it’s simple to feel pressured to plant seeds right away. But when it’s cool, days are compact and lightweight levels are low, it’s more arduous to get seeds to life and grow well plants.

There is, of course, nothing wrong with sowing seeds in early spring; just remember that it will get easier later in the year. For simple seasonal project ideas, check out the table below.
