An Indoor Start to Your Outdoor Garden
 It may only be February, but if you’re anything like us, you can already smell the sweet-scented flowers, and can’t wait to pick fresh herbs and vibrant vegetables from a garden that you’ve thoughtfully prepared. And when it comes to preparation, let our gardening experts help you select the right indoor seed starting products to ensure that this year’s garden is your most successful garden yet.
Indoor seed starting is not only an excellent way to extend the growing season and grow healthier plants, but it is also the most cost-effective way to grow your own garden.¹ Whether your outdoor garden is a long-standing tradition or you’re ready to start a new rewarding venture, the time to start planting is now. On average, vegetable seeds require four to five weeks of indoor growing while some seeds may require up to ten weeks of indoor growing before your desired outdoor planting date. 
Once you’re ready to get started, consider a seed starting system like the Burpee Ultimate Growing System™. Available at Stein Gardens & Gifts, it’s easy to set up and requires less maintenance and watering than other systems. Plus, it features a transparent cover that retains heat and moisture, and a 72-cell tray that makes it easy to start all of your seeds in one unit. This system pairs well with Stein Gardens & Gifts Seed Starter Mix that features a mixture of sphagnum peat moss and horticultural vermiculite used by professional growers. Another popular seed starting item is the Hydrofarm Seedling Heat Mat™. Available at Stein Gardens & Gifts, the heat mat warms the root area by 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit, increasing the growing success of your seedlings and cuttings by improving germination.
The outdoor growing season is right around the corner and successful seed starting begins now. Visit your local Stein Gardens & Gifts today and let our gardening experts help you get started.
