Seeds To Start in April

Here is April's Seed Starting schedule.  Don't forget that you can sow peas as soon as the soil can be worked.
Please be aware that this seed-starting schedule is based on being planted on Memorial Day weekend (the traditional weekend for many Northeast gardeners to put their gardens in).

Tip from the Seed-Room: Seedlings should be transplanted, at least once, before they are hardened-off and planted in the garden. This will ensure a strong plant that will better handle the shock of planting.
Once seedlings have their first pair of true leaves and are strong enough for you to handle them, it's time for them to be transplanted. Be sure to never handle the seedling by its stem-- use one of its leaves. If you are transplanting them into a flat be sure to place seedlings 2 inches apart from each other.
