Let’s Learn How to Start Seeds Indoors
One of the most confusing things I see people get hung up on is what seeds need to be started indoors versus buying the seeds. There are many seeds that can be direct sown – in a future post I will show you a quick document to get started. It will help you save money instead of purchasing seedling plants that cost more than a whole pack of seeds.
Seeds Are Amazing
They start out as this teeny tiny thing; everything to grow is right inside of them. Give them the proper conditions – Light- Nutrition- Warmth and they are on their way to grow into a plant that will produce fruit, which then produces seeds, which self-plants in the ground and when those proper conditions come back –Light – Nutrition – Warmth it starts all over again. It is simply amazing and awe inspiring. Give the proper conditions we act as that seed as well.
Some seeds are best to be “Direct Sown” – which means to directly place into the ground when the conditions are right. Some seeds need to be preplanted in order to give them enough time in our very short growing period.
Direct Sown Seeds
First let’s discuss the “Direct Sown” seeds- these seeds will at this point be tabled until a later date. It is very important to focus your energy, resources, supplies and space on seeds that need to be started prior to the gardening season.
Direct Sown Seeds Examples: (months are for a northern climate)
May: (late) Beets, Lettuce, Peas, Kale, Spinach, Carrots, Potatoes
June: Corn, Onions, Cucumber, Squashes, Zucchini, Pumpkins, Radishes, Brussel Sprouts, Beans
Seed Starts examples:
Tomatoes, Peppers, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, some herbs
