Frequently asked questions

When should I start seeds indoors in Maine?

Most vegetables and annuals are started 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost — late March to mid April in southern Maine.

When is the best time to seed a lawn?

Late August through mid September is best for cool-season grass in Maine; spring is second best.

Which seeds can I sow straight in the garden?

Peas, beans, carrots, radishes, lettuce, squash and many annual flowers grow well from direct sowing.
