Seed Starting - How to Successfully Start Plants from Seed

Seed Starting: Planting the Seeds

• Make sure you read the seed package for special instructions. Some seeds may require a period of pre-chilling or soaking.

• Small seeds can be sprinkled on top of the potting mix. Larger seeds can be counted out and planted individually.

• Use at least 3 seeds per container, since not all seeds will germinate and not all that do germinate will survive. You can thin extras later.
