How do I start seeds indoors for my garden?

Starting seeds indoors is a great way to get a jump on the growing season! First, you'll need seed trays or pots, seed starting mix, and your seeds.

What type of soil should I use for seed starting?

Use a light, sterile seed starting mix that retains moisture but drains well. Avoid using regular garden soil.

How much light do the seedlings need?

Seedlings typically need 12-16 hours of light per day. You can use grow lights or place them near a sunny window.

When should I transplant the seedlings outside?

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date in your area, and when they are about 2-4 inches tall.

Any tips for keeping the seedlings healthy?

Make sure to keep the soil consistently moist, provide adequate light, and thin out the seedlings if they are overcrowded.
