Planting Seeds Tips
When spring arrives, gardeners are in a flurry to prepare for the coming growing season. They do this first and foremost through seed starting. Starting your own plants from seed is not only practical, it can be very rewarding.
The sense of accomplishment you feel after you have nurtured a tiny seed into a healthy plant cannot be matched. Sowing seeds can be done almost anywhere; from a sunny window box to a garden shed to a greenhouse. To be successful, just follow a few rules.
A seed is capable of germinating and growing up to the two-leaf stage. Moisture and warmth are the keys to unlocking the resources held inside the seed. Most seeds need light and will have different temperatures at which they will germinate.
As a rule, this will happen at between 59 degrees Fahrenheit to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Seed beds need to be moist but not overly wet. It is a personal choice as to whether you sow in trays, plugs or pots. The timing of planting is as important as what type of soil you have.
It is always a good thing to experiment with new soil mixtures and planting environments when planting your seeds. At times it may seem tedious, but in the end the surprising results are worthwhile. And don’t be intimidated by planting flowers alongside your vegetables. By doing this, you add your own special touch to your garden.
