Let's grow together... Seeds to start indoors in Ontario this March:
March is the ideal time to start slower-growing varieties indoors in Ontario! Giving seeds an early start ensures strong, healthy plants that will be ready to thrive when it’s time to transplant outdoors. Here’s what to focus on this month:
Vegetables – tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and onions take longer to germinate and mature, so they need a head start. Brassicas like broccoli and cauliflower also benefit from early indoor seeding to be ready for the garden by spring. Herbs – slow-growing herbs such as rosemary and thyme do best when started early. Basil can also be sown indoors now for a jumpstart on the season.
March came in like a lamb... Be sure to check your sump pumps after the soggy weather... Lots of snow to melt.
Join us for Euchre at the Grace Centre! Whether you're a seasoned pro or a newbie looking to learn, come join us for a fun afternoon of cards March 13th, 27th from 1 – 3pm.
