Sowing and planting in January

In January the garden rests, and sowing happens indoors on a bright windowsill at most. Only a few species need such an early start, such as rocoto and wax begonia, which take a long time to fruit or flower. More would not be wise now anyway: light is scarce, and seedlings sown too early grow long and thin. Use the month to sort your seeds and plan the year.
