On this week’s Good to Grow, hosts Denise and Jan will celebrate Valentines Day by gifting gardeners with various events and seed-starting tips to make the most of this lovely month. It is time to start your seeds for the Spring!
"Seeds of warm-season vegetables should be sown indoors now for planting out in early April. Plants such as tomatoes, peppers, squash, bean, cucumbers, etc., will be ready for outdoor planting about six to eight weeks after being sown. If sowing seeds in flats outdoors, make sure to bring seedlings indoors on nights when the temperature is going to drop down below 40 degrees."

The El Paso County Master Gardeners started in 1981 and has been growing with many volunteers and Master Gardeners ever since. The love of gardening and search for knowledge are primary reasons people join the program to become trained and certified Master Gardeners. Texas Master Gardeners are united in name, but the program’s strength lies in its ability to meet the diverse needs of the communities it serves.
