  Transplant operations  
 
  Depending on how far south you live, late January will be a good time to start laying plans for the annual flowers and vegetables you'll start growing indoors for transplanting once the spring frosts have passed. To avoid the common problem of "damping off" in which seemingly healthy seedlings or buds suddenly keel over--make sure to sterilize the soil by microwaving it briefly, then keep the soil warm and avoid overwatering the new seedlings. Merely mist them until they start showing significant growth.
