BDN cites Extension’s advice for starting seeds
The Bangor Daily News cited University of Maine Cooperative Extension in the article “Here are the seeds you should start indoors in Maine.” UMaine Extension recommends starting tomatoes six to eight weeks before transplanting the seedlings, depending on the variety, and peppers should be started seven to 10 weeks before the danger of the last frost has passed. Eggplant seedlings should be started indoors seven to 10 weeks before transplanting them outside, and celery can take nine to 21 days to germinate, according to UMaine Extension.
