There is little information on when to start garden seeds indoors for the best results in outdoor gardening plants.
Frost dates for zones can be located at theFarmers Almanacwebsite.
Sit the containers in a tub or sink with water until the mix is fully saturated.
After planting two garden seeds in each pot, keep the pots at 70-75 degree temperature for quick germination.
A heating pad beneath the pots will add warmth.
Commercial grow lightsset on a timer for 18 hours of light and six hours of darkness is preferable.
After about six weeks, the seedlings will be large enough to go outdoors to the newly cultivated garden.
When handling seedlings, never grasp the seedling by the stem and pull it from the pot.
This will injure the delicate tissue of the stem and lead to disease and die-back.
Healthy and delicious meals prepared with home grown vegetables are beyond measure.
