Spring is almost here and it is time to get those seeds started for the garden. Don’t let those thoughts of it being to hard stop you. This is the year to start that garden that you always wanted and grow fresh vegetables for you and your family. Here are a few steps to help you get started.
1. Start with organic planting soil
– We used Whitney Farms Planting Soil
2. Fill your container about 1/2-3/4 of the way
– We re-use plastic containers(ones with clear lids make great little green houses)
3. Make small holes for the seeds
4. Put one seed in each hole (on the back of each seed packet is recommendations for how deep to plant each seed.)
5. Cover with a little dirt
6. Add a little water
7. Put in a green house or window seal to germinate the seeds (germination time is on the seed packet)
Notes: Be sure to label each container so you will know what seed was planted and date planted. Keep the soil moist.
We enjoy planting with the kids and getting them excited about growing their own food. It is great family time and we recommend it for you.
