Try Sprouting Seedlings Indoors

While we wait for the warmth and sunshine of spring, bring the outdoors inside by starting herb seed sprouts indoors. When the threat of frost is over, transfer the seedlings to the Harbor Heights community herb patches located on the Sky Terrace. Some herbs that are among the easiest to grow from seed are basil, mint, parsley, chives, and dill. If you are new to gardening, check out this website for a quick guide to indoor seed starting.
