Hello their, basically what's up is I had a real close family pet die. Wanna give him proper burial in the backyard. Want to be able to plant some flower, or start a tree above him. Problem is its winter time here and getting real cold at night. So can't really do anything now. Just gonna do a purple cabbage I have for now. But I have 2 grow tents and 2 400w hps and mh, and would like to start something indoors. Does anyone have any experience with starting a small tree inside before moving outside. Any ideas what kind and what would be easy? For people that know zones I am 6B close to 7 that should help narrow down what I can handle here. Any flower and how hard they are? Just lookIng for some info never done anything like this indoors before. Of course have experience growing in other areas.

If you tell me what month your pets birthday was I can suggest a plant/tree that blooms at that time...it'll be more personal then...also its good to know what hardiness zone you're in but can you tell me what region of the states you reside...that will help too. thanks.

Pretty sure the 6B is what you are referring to for the hardiness zone. February was his birthday. North eastern part of the states. Usually don't have a problem with some 7B stuff. Have full sun areas, part shade, and full shaded areas available in yard.

A warm day in February can force some beautiful Witch Hazels. First things to show color in late winter. Hamamelis species and cultivars.
Corylopsis or Winter Hazels bloom about the same time. Both species like a little extra water.
As for perennials try Snow drops, Galanthus spp. They're white, hardy, will spread over the years, non fragrant.
February can be pretty bleak in the garden but those few plants tend to give one hope of things to come.
You might even try both Witch Hazel planted with Snow Drops at its base.
Hope that helps :)
