It is still cold outside, but there are a few seeds we can start indoors under lights in January. In this video, I am sharing what those seeds are and doing a giveaway of seeds too. Please comment below and let us know what seeds are you going to start soon. I will pick 5 people and send you seeds.
I’m so happy to have you here, on the Kitchen Garden Therapy channel, where I share my experience with growing my food from seed and practicing permaculture principles. My name is Slava, I live in Chicago, and I am an herbalist and a cook, I love fermenting and canning what I grow. My garden is a very small urban backyard, zone 5b, I am growing in the ground, with raised beds, a cold frame, and a little greenhouse. Sometimes gardening is viewed as complicated and stressful, my purpose on this channel is to show how therapeutic and rewarding it can be. And how great it is to be at one with nature. I find it to be specifically important in urban areas where people are so alienated from nature. No matter where you live and how much space you have, you can start small and grow together with your garden, eat what you grow, and grow what you eat. Hope you find my ideas and experience useful in your gardening journey.

I probably will start with the herbs. I just love watching things grow😊
Thank you for great information! 😊👍Onions, spinach and chard with pansies is what I will start with😊
I already have sweet potatoes making roots to grow slips for mid to late spring. Also have Basil doing well and growing herbs, though having trouble with thyme. It germinates, sprouts then when starts to growing longer sprigs it dies. It's happened twice to me in the past year. Everything is doing well, my cabbages, beets, carrits, parsnips and have been harvesting rutabagas and cabbage.
The perfect video for this week! I have already started some rosemary because mine didn't do well over the winter. I'm also getting ready to start some onions and spinach. I hadn't even considered celery yet, so thank you for that reminder! 🙂
in January I will be starting some flowers pansies, violas, lisianthus, polka dot plant, static, and begonias.
veg– I will be doing Micro tomatoes, onions, lettuce, kale, bok choy, PEPPERS all the peppers
herbs- basil, parsley,
I’m starting cabbage, lettuce, and onion. I also want to start some cool weather flowers. Sweet peas are on my list!

Hello we started planning on the 1st but we finally planted Swiss chard, kale, radishes, butter crunch, spinach in our milk jug geeenhouses. I Homeschool 3 girls ages 10, 8 and 7 and that was our project today we would love to win some pretty flowers to plant🥰 thanks for opportunity
Great info Slava. Not sure what seeds we will be starting yet…been trying to think when to start broccoli so it can go in the greenhouse. Also thinking of doing the winter sowing where you use the water jugs. Just not sure when to start for our cold zone. Hope you’re doing well!
Starting basil, honestly
Great info. I'll be starting some rosemary, oregano and some medicinal herbs. After those I'll start cabbage and broccoli.
I've been itching to get in the garden, I just didn't know where to start. I'm so excited for the recommendations and will be starting cabbage, celery, broccoli, and cauliflower. I'm in need of some much needed Therapy!!! 😊
beautiful ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥
I am about to sow peppers and egg plants. I found a sprouting old sweet potato in the back of my kitchen, so I started nurturing the potato and sprouts as well. The same with a rimply piece of ginger (found next to the spruoting sweet potato). Great eyes on the ginger. So actually my growing season started with the discovery of some wrinkly treasures.
I would like to sow, common types of which we generally use in every day life, tomatoes, eggplant, capsicum, lettuce, etc, I am participating in this seeds give away very exciting
Given this year will be my first time actually doing a garden, I'll most likely be finding out via videos. Willing to try everything, and sticking with whatever works best… Wish me luck….
I am about a month behind you in MN 4b
I started onions and will be starting my cool flowers soon. but with your vid I know to get going on my herbs. thank you
Thanks for the information. I’m gonna try starting leafy greens and onions. With the inflation and trying to eat healthier, I rather just grow my own food to save money. I started gardening last year and I fell in love. There’s nothing like planting seeds and watching the abundance of a beautiful plant grow from something so small.
I'm going to try onions for the first time. Bust since you said to try celery, I have gown that before but started later, so I'm gonna try starting that early also
I have started peas so far lol
This year, I'm hoping to grow tomatoes, beans, bok choy, eggplant ( preferably the long thin Japanese one), and, of course, herbs.
