🌱 Seed-Starting Countdown

Start: Onions and leeks indoors in late February \u2014 they&#8217;re famously slow (10\u201312 weeks to transplant size), so they get a head start while everything else waits. Sow in flats under lights, \u00bc inch deep. Celery and parsley can join them; both are slowpokes too.
Transplant: Still nothing outdoors.
