“Spring is the best time for planting many annuals such as vegetables.  We can start our transplants now in plenty of time for planting in spring.  Starting seeds is an excellent way to expand your selection of vegetable types as well as allow for better input with how they are grown.  We will cover the basics for starting seeds in preparation for spring.”
