Growing from Seed

when to start these seeds?

20 years ago

Hi,

I'm in Eastern Ontario zone 5.

I would like to know when is the best time to start these seeds outdoor?

Sweet Pea royal mix

cosmos

lettuce leaf Grand rapids

I also have a calla aethiopica (bulb aroid)that I would like to start inside when should I pot it up? what size of a pot would I need? How deep should I plant it. Or should I just wait till June and plant it outside?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mary-Jane

You can start sweet peas outside now using the Winter Sowing method.

Actually, you can start the sweet peas in the ground now and they'll tolerate the heat better later on in the summer. You can start lettuce in early May, Cosmos at the end of May.
