Get Your Seeds On
Seed-starting season is upon us which means it’s time to figure what to grow, when to start it, and how. And of course, to further confuse, plants must be started at specific times and by various methods; some prefer to be direct sown outdoors, while others require some indoor prep-time before heading outside.
The Seeds section on YouGrowGirl.com lists a number of how-tos that will ease seed-starter anxiety including: a painless guide to starting veggies, pea growing tips, starting healthy tomato seedlings, and a quick lesson in the science of germination.
Save some cash and put leftover and past due-date seeds through this simple viability test. If new seeds are required why not go halvsies on full packets with friends, or trade your surplus stash online for fresh stock.
Once you’ve got the whole mess ready-to-go print out this handy chart and draw up a plan that will ease you through the mess of what to start, when.
