  • Summary

    • Keith and Shannon discuss starting seeds for various plants including flowers, trees, and vegetables.
    • Seed starting can be challenging; success comes from good direction and proper technique.
    • Start with an open flat, plant seeds in rows, and mark each variety.
    • Use vermiculite as a top layer for seeds to retain moisture and encourage growth.
    • Use LED or fluorescent lights to provide ample light for seedlings and prevent weak stems.
    • Transition seedlings to larger containers or the garden once they are a month old and have strong roots.
    • Harden off plants by introducing them to outdoor conditions gradually, including wind and temperature changes.
    • Some seeds, like beans, corn, peas, and leafy greens, can be directly sown in the garden.
    • Use humidity domes or bags to maintain moisture levels for seedlings.
    • Starting seeds is a fun and educational activity for kids, encouraging them to eat homegrown produce.
    • Potatoes are an easy and rewarding plant to grow, with many varieties available.
    • Use a seed starting mix and pre-moisten it before planting seeds to improve success.
    • Cool season veggies can be planted twice a year, while warm season veggies go in after April 15th.
    • Starting seeds early in containers can lead to earlier harvests for certain plants.
    • Encourage everyone to try growing their own veggies and involve kids in the process.
