As gardening season approaches, now is the perfect time to start planning your spring planting. Whether you’re growing fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, or colorful flowers, starting seeds indoors ensures strong, healthy plants when it’s time to move them outside. Jiffy® Seed Starting products provide the ideal foundation for successful germination. Their Seed Starting Mix is lightweight and well-draining, allowing for strong root development while retaining the right amount of moisture. Jiffy® Peat Pots and Biodegradable Trays make transplanting easy by reducing root disturbance, helping young plants adjust quickly to outdoor conditions. These products are perfect for starting early crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and herbs, giving them a head start before the last frost passes.

When it comes to selecting high-quality seeds, Livingston Seed™ offers an excellent variety suited for this region’s climate and growing conditions. Cool-season crops such as lettuce, spinach, and kale thrive when started early indoors and transplanted outside in early spring. As the weather warms, warm-season vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers can be transplanted for a productive summer harvest. Livingston Seed™ Heirloom and Hybrid Varieties ensure a diverse selection, whether you’re looking for juicy slicing tomatoes, crisp bell peppers, or sweet watermelons. In addition to vegetables and flowers, incorporating native plants into your landscape can enhance biodiversity and support local pollinators. Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), and Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) are all excellent choices, thriving in this region’s soil and climate while attracting beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.

By combining Jiffy® Seed Starting products with Livingston Seed™ premium seeds, gardeners can maximize their growing potential this season. Starting seeds indoors allows for earlier planting, stronger plants, and greater success when moving them outdoors. Now is the perfect time to gather supplies and begin the rewarding process of growing your own vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Whether you’re aiming for a productive vegetable garden or a stunning native plant display, Strader’s Garden Center has everything you need to get started. With the right tools and high-quality seeds, your garden will flourish all season long while also supporting local wildlife.
