This Seed Starting Moments series is about the “whys and some of the hows” of my seed starting story.
My #1 tip: Keep it Simple and Stay out of Rabbit Holes created by so much Internet noise
Planting your Transplants in the garden or field:
• Soil Tests are a MUST! Learn what needs to be added (and what doesn’t)
• Prepare your bed with 2″-4″ of compost or leaf mold
• Apply general-purpose dry organic fertilizer to the bed and incorporate
• We recommend biodegradable mulch film (Bio360) for best weed suppression
• Cool-Season transplants: to protect against varmints and wind, install hoops and row cover

Ive got stock started indoors in Ohio. I watch your videos and follow your temperature information precisely. I'm a home gardener, 30 years of starting flowers from seeds, but i am learning so much from your videos. Thanks. I bought 90 stock seeds. Planted them in a 72 cell tray. The sprouted within 3 days and are now on lights. At what temperature should the soil be during the first couple of weeks? Im thinking 70. After that I can easily drop the temperature any time.
Thank you, Rhonda!!!! This has been such a helpful and concise source of basic info for those of us that are newer to the gardening world. Lisa, your podcasts and videos are such a wealth of INCREDIBLE information, but this mini series is PERFECT – quick reference for those "bullet point" details to listen to as I soil block my first seeds! Would love more short series like this! 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Thank you so much!
So much great information!! Thank you! I watch these over and over again 😊
Lisa, do you have any supplemental information/companion info to the Cool Flowers book? You mention a few times you have discovered more cool season flowers after writing the book. Its scattered throughout the podcasts and I would love to have that info in one place. I just got my book 2 days ago and I love it, read it in 1 day 🙂 Thanks for signing it, that was very special.
