Spring is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start planning your garden! Whether you’re dreaming of vibrant annuals or a thriving vegetable patch, careful preparation now will set you up for success when the growing season begins in Zone 4. Check out this source from the Farmer’s Almanac to a plan your spring planting in the northeast U.S.:
As you can see, starting seeds indoors, depending on the crop, can begin as early as March.
Order Seeds for an Early Start
Many garden favorites benefit from an early indoor start. Especially considering our short growing season. Ordering your seeds now ensures you have the varieties you love, ready to sow indoors. Look for crops and flowers that thrive in Zone 4, such as tomatoes, peppers, marigolds, and zinnias. With the right timing, you can give your plants a head start before transferring them to your outdoor garden when the danger of frost has passed.
Custom Container Gardening

Why Choose Container Gardening?
Container gardening is ideal for those with limited space or a desire for low-maintenance beauty. Window boxes add charm and color to your home, while patio containers offer flexibility and convenience. Plus, they’re perfect for controlling soil quality and ensuring plants get the sunlight they need. And weeding? Save yourself this chore by using containers for herbs, tomatoes and even many root vegetables, such as potatoes. My potato bag was bursting with spuds last fall!
