Even though winter months have just barely begun, it’s time to start thinking about spring! Growing plants from seeds is an exciting and fulfilling undertaking. Utah gardeners; now’s the time to start your seeds inside (also known as seeding indoors). If you haven’t done it before, Glover Nursery is here to help. We’ve got you covered with all the tips and tricks (& seeds!).
One of the many benefits when growing from seed is that you have more options than you do when you transplant from starts. If you’re looking to grow a lot of vegetables, it’s typically cheaper too. You can start all sorts of seeds indoors, including: broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, lettuce, and tomatoes (to name a few favorites here at the nursery). As for vegetable gardening, seeds that have a slower root development, like cauliflower, eggplant, and peppers, also benefit from being started indoors. But it doesn’t have to stop at vegetables! We have a HUGE selection of seeds for your garden. Visit our Utah garden center to see the entire range of hundreds of choices.

Keep your pots moist and warm, and be sure to check them regularly. Once you start to see sprouts, move the containers to a light source like a window or indoor grow lights, if you have them. If you place them by a window,, rotate them regularly so the plants are getting equal amounts of light. Monitor the moisture level so they aren't soaking wet, but don't dry out entirely, either.
Signs of Overwatering: Yellow wilting leaves, mold or mildew, stunted growth.
Signs of Underwatering: Soil pulling away from the container, brown drying leaves.
With a little bit of TLC, you’ll have healthy sprouts in no time, and come spring you can plant them in their more permanent home: your garden!
