I like to get a jump start on my seed starting but don’t always get that accomplished. Some things just take sooo long to sprout and grow in order to have a decent sized plant before planting time, that if I don’t start things in January, they just don’t have time to get as big as I would like before they go out in the yard. Living in a relatively short growing season area, the more growth I can get out of plant before it goes outside, the better.
