Gardening is a great hobby that provides you with fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers and has numerous health benefits. Besides having an array of fresh organic produce, it's also ideal for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Whether you're burning calories by digging, planting, or weeding, gardening involves many movements that help improve your strength, flexibility, and balance.
The best way to get a head start on the gardening season is to create your seeds indoors. This will ensure healthy seedlings when it's time to transplant them. To ensure success, it is important to follow some basic guidelines. These tips will help you get started on the right foot and have solid and healthy seedlings ready for your garden.
Use seed trays or pots with good drainage to start your seeds indoors. You can also use recycled containers such as egg cartons or yogurt cups, but make sure to poke holes in the bottom for proper drainage.
Place your seed trays or pots near a sunny window or under grow lights. Seeds need a temperature of about 70-75°F to germinate properly. You can use a heat mat to maintain the right temperature.
Use a good quality seed starting mix and keep it moist but not soaking wet. You can use a spray bottle to water the roots or place the trays or pots in a shallow tray of water until the soil is saturated. Avoid over-watering, which can lead to mold growth and damping-off diseases. Make sure to label your containers with the seed variety and date of planting to make tracking and referencing easier.
