Starting Garden Seeds Indoors: A Complete Guide

Seed starting needs warmth, drainage, and light—whether a greenhouse, $20 grow lamp, or sunny kitchen window with TLC. Give plants protected lead time before outdoor transplant.

Timing varies. Early starters: begonia, salvia, pansies, petunias, impatiens (flowers); broccoli, leeks, tomatoes, eggplant (vegetables). Seed packets provide detailed planting, growing, and care instructions.

Reading Seed Packets

Example: Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) packets show description (annual climbing vine, frost-hardy, spring/summer bloom), planting chart (1" depth, 2-3" apart, Jan-Jun or fall in mild climates, full sun), germination (10-14 days), mature height (~7'), and growing notes (soil, drainage, climate).
