 | Get a jump start on this year's planting by starting your plants from seeds instead of purchasing a more-expensive mature plant during growing season. Starting plants from seeds is easy to do as long as you provide the necessary environment. |
 | Seed germination means that a seed is revived from its dormant state to begin the process of root and leaf production. Seed germination sounds impressive, and it is. |
 | Known for their variety and great taste, heirloom garden seeds have been passed down from generation to generation. |
When you soak seeds, you allow water to fully penetrate the hull of the seed, nourishing the germ that will bloom into a plant. Seeds will get food from the nutrients in the soil surrounding them once they are planted, but to flourish they need plenty of water. |
Starting plants indoors is a great way to get a jump on the planting season. Plants started long before the end of cold weather can extended your harvest and bring beauty to your yard quickly. |
