🌱 How to Start Seeds for a Healthier Garden
Seed Starting Essentials:
🪴 Seed-Starting Mix – Moisten it until damp (not soggy!) to avoid mold or poor germination.
🧁 Fill Cells or Pots – Pack the mix firmly, but not too tight.
🌾 Planting Your Seeds:
📏 Follow packet guidelines for depth and spacing.
✏️ Use a pencil or finger to poke holes and cover gently with mix.
🌡️ Create the Perfect Environment:
🌫️ Cover trays with plastic wrap or dome lids to trap humidity.
🔥 Place them in a warm spot (65–75°F) to encourage sprouting.
🌞 Once Sprouted:
🪟 Move trays to a sunny window or under a grow light.
💦 Water gently using a spray bottle—keep the soil moist, not soaked.
🧃 Begin fertilizing once “true leaves” appear using diluted liquid fertilizer.
🌤️ Prep for Transplanting:
⏳ 7–10 days before planting outdoors, harden off seedlings gradually.
⛱️ Start with a few hours outside in shade and increase time/sunlight daily.
