Seed starting guide for New Jersey gardeners with Terri Gabriell
Seed starting in New Jersey centers on indoor sowing for four to eight weeks before outdoor planting. Start cool weather crops now, with April outdoor sowing for cabbage, broccoli and lettuce, and later for tomatoes and peppers. Use sterile medium, proper watering, light, and temperature to prevent damping off, then transplant to richer soil as plants mature. Terri Gabriell invites reader letters to Box 94 Ringoes NJ 08551.

Iowa State University Extension landscape architect Jean E. Olson warns that late February through May is prime for rabbit damage to young trees and shrubs as sap rises and food remains scarce. She recommends wrapping stems to two feet above snow or fencing with a two foot chicken wire barrier, then pushing the fence down as snow melts.
