‍

🌱 Getting Started

‍

Start seeds indoors 6–10 weeks before your last expected frost date. Use seed starting mix in small cells or containers. Keep soil moist and maintain temperatures of 70–80°F for best germination. Peppers and eggplant are the slowest germinators — start these first. Tomatoes and zucchini germinate in 5–10 days.

‍

☀️ Sun Requirements

‍

Seedlings need bright light to grow strong and compact. Place near a south-facing window or use a grow light 2–3 inches above seedlings for 14–16 hours per day. Insufficient light leads to leggy, weak seedlings that struggle after transplanting.

‍

💧 Watering Seedlings

‍

Water seedlings carefully — they are more sensitive to overwatering than mature plants. Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water from below by placing trays in water and allowing soil to absorb moisture, then drain.

‍

🌿 Hardening Off

‍

Before transplanting, harden off seedlings over 7–10 days by gradually introducing them to outdoor conditions. Start with 1–2 hours of outdoor time in a sheltered spot and increase daily. This prevents transplant shock and builds stronger plants.

‍

✂️ Transplanting

‍

Transplant outdoors after your last frost date when nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F. Transplant on a cloudy day or in the evening to reduce stress. Water well immediately after planting and keep soil consistently moist for the first two weeks.
