Simple Tips on growing veggies from Seeds



So after planting my garden this year and talking to my friends about it I noticed that most of them thought I was crazy for starting a garden from seeds.  I personally found it funny since it is cheaper and super easy to start from seeds.  So I came up with an email for my friends on simple tips on growing veggies from seeds and thought I would share my tips with you too.  If you have any questions comment below and I am more then willing to help you out.

  • First you need soak your seeds.   I normally go to the dollar store and buy a bunch of cheap small cups and place each of my seeds into a bowl.  MAKE sure you label the bowl, forgot my first year.   You will let them soak for about 10-15 minutes.  
  • While they are soaking you can start to fill up your containers with soil, you will fill up a little more then 1/2 full.  
  • Next place 1-3 seeds in each hole and then mark the side of the container with a permanent marker with the same of the veggie. 
  • Lastly you will cover them with dirt loosely on the top.
  • After that you will water them and you will continue to water them daily till ready to plant.  (I let mine grow for 3-4 weeks)

It does take about 1-2 weeks to start seeing sprouts so don’t be disappointed  if you don’t see anything right away.  The whole process does take 6 weeks so make sure you start your seeds at least 6 weeks before the last freeze.  You can store your veggies in your garage under a veggie grow light to help them stay warm and get some “sun” .
