Start Your Garden From Seeds This Spring With ” Down To Earth Living ” Pomona, NY

Published

on

Pomona, NY – Seed starting is a great way to start your garden early and ensure that you have a steady supply of healthy, robust plants throughout the growing season. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just starting out, seed starting can be a rewarding and fun activity. Here’s what equipment you will need and some tips for success.

The timing of seed starting depends on the plants you want to grow. Generally, you should start seeds indoors a few weeks before planting them outdoors. This will give your plants enough time to grow and become strong before you transplant them outside.

What Equipment You Need
To start seeds indoors, you will need a few basic gardening tools. Here is a list:
 Containers: Start your seeds in peat pots or peat plugs which will eliminate the need to
transplant the seedlings from a container into the ground, reducing the possibility of
damaging them.
 Soil: Use high-quality seed-starting mix designed to provide the right balance of
nutrients and moisture for young plants.
 Seeds: Choose high-quality seeds and make sure to read the instructions on the seed
packets.
 Water: Water your seeds regularly, but don’t overwater.
 Light: Seedlings need plenty of light to grow strong and healthy. Be sure to place them
on a sunny windowsill. Consider starting with easy growing vegetables such as lettuce,
tomatoes, peas, peppers, and squash.

Tips for Success
Here are some tips for successful seed starting:
 Start with clean containers: Wash your containers well with soap and water and rinse
thoroughly.
 Plant at the right depth: Follow the instructions on the seed packet to determine the
proper depth for planting your seeds.
 Provide enough light: Seedlings need 12-16 hours of light per day. If you are using
grow lights, keep them about 2 inches above the plants.
 Keep the soil moist: Check the soil regularly and water as needed. Don’t let the soil dry
out completely, but also avoid overwatering.

First Look at the Upcoming Chick-fil-A in Nanuet

NANUET, NY — Construction is well underway for the highly anticipated Chick-fil-A restaurant coming to Nanuet, bringing excitement to fast food fans and local residents alike. Located at 70 E Route 59 Nanuet, NY, the new Chick-fil-A is poised to become a major draw in the heart of Nanuet and Clarkstown.

The project broke ground earlier this year and has made significant progress in recent weeks. Heavy machinery, framing, and foundation work have transformed the previously vacant lot into an active construction zone. Crews are now working on erecting the main structure of the building, with signage up and the drive-thru installations work in progress.

This location will be the first stand-alone Chick-fil-A in Rockland County, residents who previously had to travel to locations at the Sloatsburg rest stop or in New Jersey.

Chick-fil-A is known for its signature chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, and customer service — and the Nanuet location is expected to feature a double drive-thru lane to help manage high traffic volumes, especially during lunch and dinner hours.

While an official opening date has not yet been announced, sources close to the project estimate a grand opening in early fall of 2025.

Stay tuned to the Rockland Report for more updates.
