The start of a new year is an exciting time for a gardener. It is a period where many will begin to make plans for the year ahead - and the great news is there are plants you can sow in January to really get things off to a good start.
Starting seeds indoors early in January gives you a head-start on plants that have a long growing season, and it can mean longer flowering periods and bumper crops. It also brings with it the satisfaction of getting your hands dirty and kick-starting a new year of gardening. You can also get planting in January, as it is an ideal time to get bare root shrubs and trees into the ground.
