How to Start Seeds Indoors

Winter is waning and spring is finally on it’s way. If you haven’t already been thinking about what to plant in your garden, it is time. Hurray! I love getting my hands in the dirt and watching those little shoots spring up from the soil. This is one of my most favorite times of year (actually, I say that about the beginning of every season).
Planting seed directly in the ground works well for many of my seasonal vegetables, but there are some plants that benefit from a little head start to ensure they get off on the right foot. In my area, where the growing season is short, growing a few variety of plants from seed is not an option.For instance, tomatoes and peppers would never mature and produce before my typical growing season is over. Starter plants are the only viable way to go.
You will find growing plants indoors from seed is not all that difficult and it is much more satisfying to see the process from start to finish. I have written an easy tutorial to help get you started. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I love to help.

Robert Muttenthaler on Feb 24, 2014I've tried doing this method before and I've always come out with the same result... nothing. Could it be because of over watering or where I've placed the trays ?

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
This will be my first year to actually start with some seeds. What is the best soulless mixture to start with and when should I transfer to regular potting soil for the ones staying in pots and into the ground for those going there, (I know I have to wait until the last frost for sure)?
Thanks.
