| Onions and Other Early Vegetables |
In an effort to will Spring into existence, we've started some early seedlings. Most seedlings wont need to be started for another couple of weeks, but it will be nice to have some small tomato plants for sale at the farmers' markets in May, and certain things, like onions, need to be started early when you're growing them in Maine. If you're starting your own seedlings in zone 4, we recommend two pieces of affordable equipment: grow lights and heat mats. If you have a really sunny window, you may be able to forgo the grow light, but heat is essential. Tomatoes in particular require a temperature of about 65 degrees on average (70-80 is best) to germinate and grow well.
There's still snow on the ground, but things will look more like this before we know it:
