Spring is fast approaching and it is time here in Zone 3 to start seedlings indoors. Today I am going to go through the different phases of seed starting I do in preparation for the growing season outside.
Advantages
There are a few advantages to starting your own seedlings. The cost is often lower than purchasing seedlings from a greenhouse, especially if you take advantage of a natural light source. You can also select more unique varieties that just are not available anywhere else. Finally I find it helps me extend the season by enjoying some greenery in the house well I wait for spring.
