Here are some tips to keep in mind when starting a garden:
Read the seed package or gardening book to find out how early to start your seedlings indoors. Some plants can be sewn directly into the garden.
Label your seedling containers so you know what you planted and when.
Place a lid or plastic bag over the containers at first to create keep moisture and heat in.
If planting seedlings in a cardboard or biodegradable container, watch out for mold! If there is too much moisture in your greenhouse environment, you may start to see mold growth on the outside of the container. This could harm or even kill the plant.
Make sure to rotate your plant containers, so seedlings get even amounts of sunlight and they are not growing in one direction toward the light.
Have fun with a variety of plants and containers. Here, I planted cat grass in a boot, so that Charlie can enjoy some grass later this summer.
