Sowing the Seeds of Love Tips for starting seeds

Every successful garden begins long before the first seed goes in the ground. In this episode, we walk through the methods and mindset behind starting seeds indoors — from choosing the right containers and seed-starting mix to understanding light, heat, and moisture at each stage of early growth. Whether you’re coaxing tomatoes and peppers to life under grow lights or nurturing delicate flower seedlings through their first true leaves, the fundamentals are the same: give your seeds what they need, when they need it, and the growing season will take care of the rest.
