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.

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – A Rockland County based firm ranks second among the top architects with projects in New York City. Aufgang Architects with headquarters in Suffern had new projects totaling 3,299,418 square feet in New York City which placed it in the number two spot in 2024 among all architects.

“We saw demand increase for our designs across a spectrum of development projects–market-rate multifamily, office conversions into housing and ground up affordable housing, as developers increasingly utilized new abatements and affordability programs,” Aufgang principal Ariel Aufgang said.

The ranking of top architectural firms was compiled by The Real Deal based on permits filed with the NYC Department of Buildings.

“In the past 22 years Aufgang Architects has designed more than 22 million square feet of built space including over 14,000 units of affordable housing,” said Aufgang.

The firm’s recent major projects include urban planning and designs of the first two multifamily buildings at Edgemere Commons, a 9.1 acre site in Far Rockaway, Queens, where a total of 2,050 affordable units are being developed.

“Our firm also designed the recent conversion of the former JFK Airport Hilton Hotel into 318 units of permanent, supportive and affordable housing in South Jamaica, Queens,” said Aufgang.

“In addition to our growing urban planning and engineering work, we expanded our business last year with the addition of Aurae, our new subsidiary specializing in bespoke designs for luxury lifestyles,” said Aufgang.

Since its establishment in 1971, Aufgang Architects has become known for its thoughtful, creative approach while also recognizing the importance of environmental sustainability in all aspects of design and engineering. Technology, including innovative proprietary artificial intelligence applications, enhances the firm’s approach to creating comfortable, safe and sustainable buildings as it strives to provide high quality, cost-effective and marketable design solutions to meet its clients’ objectives.
