7 steps to successfully start seeds

Seed starting is a fun and rewarding process that can help you get a jump start on your gardening season. Here are the steps to get started:

  • Choose the right container. You'll need a container with drainage holes and a tray to catch any water that drains out.

  • Fill the container with a seed-starting mix. This mix should be lightweight and fine-textured.

  • Plant the seeds. Make sure the depth of the hole is twice the size of the seed.

  • Water the soil. Use a spray bottle to lightly mist the soil with water.

  • Place the container in a warm, sunny spot. The ideal temperature for most plants is between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Care for your seedlings. Keep the soil moist and fertilize with a light fertilizer every two weeks.

  • Transplant your seedlings. When the seedlings are ready, move them to their permanent home in the garden or a larger pot.

Starting your own seeds is an excellent way to get the most out of your garden. It is a fun, rewarding experience that allows you to be creative and control your garden from the very beginning. Not only is it cost efficient, it also reduces the risk of introducing potentially harmful pests and diseases that can be found in store-bought plants. With a little time and effort, you can have a beautiful, healthy garden that you started from seed!
