Want to Start Your Garden Indoors?
Kick-Start Your Spring with an Indoor Garden
Seeding indoors is a great way to get your garden started
If you start vegetable plants indoors, it is often helpful to list seeding
dates on a calendar so that plants are ready for transplanting at the proper
time. To do this, choose your transplant date and count back the number of
weeks necessary to grow your own transplants. For example, cabbage,
broccoli and cauliflower are usually transplanted in late March to early April.
It takes eight weeks from seeding to transplant size. Plants should be
seeded in early February.
Below are some common vegetables grown for transplants and a recommended date
for seeding. The dates are not set in stone, and a week earlier or later
will not ruin the plants. Also, you may want to seed a week or two earlier
if you are in southern Kansas and possibly a week later if you are in
northern Kansas. Keep notes on how well the transplants did so you can
tweak the planting schedule. Your conditions may result in plants that
need a bit more or a bit less time. Of course if you have any questions or
need more information e-mail us at
retail@stutzmans.com or call 620-662-0559 and ask for Jason.
Here’s a sample to help:
| CROP | SEEDING DATE | TRANSPLANT DATE |
