Growing Notes

This collection spans cool-season and warm-season crops. Start cool-season varieties (kale, broccoli, cabbage, peas, beets, carrots) indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost or direct sow in early spring. Start warm-season crops (tomatoes, peppers) indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost; direct sow cucumbers, beans, zucchini, and cilantro after frost danger has passed. Full growing instructions are included with each seed packet.
