Seed-Starting in Three Steps

You can start vegetables, herbs, and flowers–both annuals and perennials–from seed. Starting plants from seed is less expensive than purchasing plants from a garden center. Seed starting will require some time and effort but can be very rewarding. Many more varieties of vegetables and flowers are available in seed than are offered at garden centers or nurseries.

 

Seed staring in containers

Planting seed directly in the garden can sometimes be risky. An unexpected frost or cold spell, a rain storm, or hot drying winds can reduce germination or wipe out seedlings. Starting seeds in container indoors and growing them under controlled conditions into robust seedlings can reduce the risk.

Cooking Coarse 32-Poultry/Italian Spices

Chef Todd Mohr continues a tour of his spice rack by highlighting herb and spice combinations appropriate for poultry and Italian cooking. In today’s cooking lesson, Chef Mohr will discuss herb and spice combinations for poultry and fish cookery, Italian seasonings for use in Italian recipes or spices for chicken recipes or turkey recipes.

Seed Starting Basics

When it comes to starting seed for the garden, do not start too early and do not start too late.

 

Seed started indoors should be ready for transplanting into the garden when the soil and weather are ready to take the seedlings into its proper growing season. That means the time to start seeds can differ widely. Some plants grow slower and need more time to develop than others. Depending upon where you live, the garden may need more time–the soil and weather may need to warm–to be ready for the crops you have in mind.
