Watering

Be Careful Not To Overwater.... Water Regularly, Yet Carefully

Feel the soil with your finger for the ideal moisture level. It should have a moist, but not a mushy feel to it.

As your seeds sprout and grow, use this touching technique. Be aware that plants grown in containers will dry out quicker than those in garden beds. Therefore, it is crucial to pay special attention to the moisture level of the soil.

The same holds true for raised beds; because they are elevated, the soil dries out more quickly than it would for plants growing in the ground.

 

Lighting Indoors

Once your seeds germinate, they need a good amount of light. The light can come from a bright window that keeps your seedlings in direct sunlight a majority of the day. You can also use artificial lights. What’s critical is that your artificial light is just 3 or 4 inches above your plants.

 

Starting Seeds Indoors

If your are starting you seeds indoors, remember that each plant has a different. The general recommendation is six to start eight weeks before the final frost date in your region. Then check the optimal soil temperature (see above).
