Tried and true techniques will produce vigorous seedlings. Growing your own seeds will open opportunities to having unusual varieties not sold at garden centers. The content is geared for beginner and intermediate gardeners, but all gardeners will be able to pick up some tidbit of information to make their own gardens more successful. KEY CONCEPTS that will be covered: selecting seeds for crops that can be planted early – preparing soil for starting seeds indoors – reading/understanding info on seed packets – starting seeds outdoors in winter – “grow light” stand construction.
