When should I start my spring planted bulbs?

Now! There are many popular and unusual varieties of plants that can be started from bulbs in the spring. Most are tropical or subtropical plants that would otherwise not be hardy in our harsh Wisconsin winters. These can be purchased each year and treated as annuals, or dug up in the fall and stored for the winter, to be replanted again the following spring.

Is it too early to start seeds indoors?

Nope -- it's time! Cold crops (things that like cold weather) can be started now, including lettuce, spinach, onions, leeks, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts and beets. Peppers and egg plant can also be started beginning in early March. Slow growing annuals, alpine strawberries and tomatoes can be started later in March. Herbs can be started any time, but now would be great time to begin a new crop! Visit The Bruce Company Garden Center for seeds and seed starting supplies.
