HOW TO START YOUR SEEDS
1. Sew seeds into soil at the depth indicated on the variety information above.
2. Keep soil moist but never wet or dry.
3. Be patient. Some seeds will take longer to germinate than others. Germination should take 1-4 weeks depending on variety and weather.
4. Protect seeds and young seedlings from pests, pets & weather.
In warm weather or when sewing small seeds it can sometimes be difficult to keep the soil moist. A good trick is to cover the soil with plastic or paper until germination occurs;this keeps the moisture from evaporating.
As soon as seeds germinate, remove cover.
*Where possible, store your seed paper stationery in a cool dark location.
