After we have recuperated from the winter holidays (hopefully this is done by mid January), it's time to order seeds at the last minute for starting them indoors. I purchase seeds that I won't find as seedlings at my local nursery, unusual ones and magnificent varieties I can't live without. My seeds have to arrive no later then the first week in February (Zone 4) and I start them in trays in a germinating mix. I used to lay out newspaper on the dining room table and make a royal mess there and on the floor with spilled dirt which I would then track all over the house. Now I have a handy little potter's tray and I have no mess at all, I only have to wash the tray (and my hands)! Seeds need warmth, a heated mat is perfect, it's better than the top of the fridge and easier to keep them watered...not too much water or they get "leggy" and lay over and die. In 4 to 6 weeks I am ready to transplant them into pots and when the outdoor soil is warm enough I plant them in the ground, usually right before Memorial Day. Anxious weeks pass and then I finally get to enjoy the flowers and vegetables, it's well worth the wait!
