SEED STARTING BASICS
1) Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks prior to planting. Paper towel germination method recommended (see guide). DO NOT DIRECT SOW.
2) Harden seedlings off after last frost.
3) Plant seedlings with 4-5 leaf sets in the field. Follow date recommendations for your growing zone; a general rule of thumb is when you would plant out tomatoes - after your last frost and when soil temps are above 55°F.
