Now is the time in Zone 9A and the Gulf South to sow seeds indoors. Join Louisiana Simple Living as I show you how to sow seeds and grow them inside.. After the last Frost or Freeze of the Spring, we will then move those seedlings outside a bit over 7 days to get them hardy and used to the temperature and humidity outside. Then will be transplant them directly into our raised beds.

This back and forth weather 😫
Ahhh so excited to seed with you !! Thank you for your uploads, they're always so helpful!
As with all of your videos they are to-the-point an informative I I enjoy them all
Nice video. I had the 2 ft version of that JumpStart light, and found it was not nearly enough light for seedlings. They got leggy, fast. I ended up adding a lot more light, and taking the plants outside every warm day, and they did ok. Just something to watch out for with the new light.
Good job as always and thank you for sharing Enjoyed it Keep it Organic and Be Safe God Bless
So what happens once they out grow the seed tray before its time to plant outside?? Do you transplant to a bigger pot?
I like how you've got your seeds organized. You have such a nice indoor setup too. Happy growing! 😊
Thanks so much for this video. Will be planting mine this week. I need to buy a nice setup like yours. I saw the green bar thingy at Cleggs this past weekend. Just need a light. What kind is yours?
Do you put your trays on the heat mat? It didn’t look like you did or I missed you putting on it.
