What types of plant seeds grow best in january and february?
Posted on Dec 25, 2009 under Best Seeds | 4 Commentsi am doing a project on seed germination and we have to do these experiments during january and february. do you know what seeds grow best during these months? i will need to go somewhere like Lowe’s or home depot. Please help!!
i do a little gardening myself here in florida. out of all my seeds, the spinach germinate really fast. the package of seeds i bought stated 7-14 days but most of them germinated in 3 days. some might take a week but they’re fast. try lettuce too! have fun.

Herbs can grow really well! Typically Basil and Parsley, I have some the window sill right now!They are only two weeks old and are around 1" tall already! They live all through the winter indoors, outdoors they can live/ sprout too if they are not over watered by mother natures heavy winter rain.
But lets keep it real, they wont grow outside when it snowing, but will indoors. Now if your in Texas, California (like Me), Florida, of any place that doesn’t ave ANY snow they will do fine.

Orchids for Winter Flowering
Orchids bloom exquisitely in winter. Now that prices have come down, orchids are often discarded once the blooms fade. Try out Phalenopsis orchids for long term keepers.

Radishes germinate and grow pretty quickly.
You can also germinate dried beans or "green" (not roasted) peanuts. These might be good for your project because they are large and it is easy to see the germination happening. Just fold a paper towel into a strip about 3" high. Make a circle and place it in a glass, against the inner wall of the glass. Put some water in the bottom of the glass so it can wick up the paper towel. Place the seeds between the paper towel and the glass. You’ll see the germination as it happens.
