8 Seeds to Start in January, No Matter Where you Live
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are a great choice for starting indoors in January. With plenty of sunlight, they’ll grow strong and be ready to transplant once the outdoor temperatures rise.
Peppers
Peppers, both sweet and hot, benefit from an early start. They take longer to mature, so starting them indoors in January gives them enough time to develop.
Lettuce
Lettuce is fast-growing and does well when started indoors. By the time it’s ready to be moved outside, you’ll have fresh, crisp greens to enjoy.
Broccoli
Broccoli can be tricky to grow but benefits from an early start. It can thrive indoors with proper care and be transplanted outdoors when the weather is right.
Kale
Like lettuce, kale is cold-tolerant and can be started in January. It’ll grow quickly and be ready to transplant once the weather warms up, giving you a head start on your harvest.
Cauliflower
Cauliflower takes a while to grow but can be started indoors in January. It’ll develop better with early care and will be ready to transplant when the weather improves.
Spinach
Spinach can be easily started indoors, as it thrives in cooler temperatures. Once it's big enough, you can transplant it outside for an early spring harvest.
