We’re getting closer to spring and it’ll soon be time to start seeds indoors to be ready for planting. Iowa State University Extension horticulture specialist Aaron Steil says line up your seeds to get started.
He says there are a variety of plants you can start early.
There are certain vegetables that really hate being transplanted, and starting them early doesn’t give you an advantage.
Steil says there’s all kinds of containers you can use to start your plants.
Steil say you should use seed starting soil instead of potting soil.
Steil says water the seeds carefully, so you don’t wash them out. Also, cover them with a dome or something to help raise the humidity. Once the seeds emerge, find the brightest spot in your house or use a grow light or some other kind of light source.
