 Flower seeds to sow indoors before spring Getting a good start at sowing flowering annuals in spring and summer is the best way to prolong the seasonal color without breaking the bank. Some seeds can be sown indoors or in the greenhouse, 10-12 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Here, they are protected from the cold and are ready for planting in the garden when spring comes. How to sow Once your growing medium has been placed on a tray, sow the seed in the soil and cover the seed bag with the required depth. Some seeds are sown in the soil without covering. These require light to germinate. Other seeds require darkness and cover to germinate. If you use trays with cells, plant 2-3 seeds in a cell to give the best chance of success. They grow to a height of a few inches and can be thinned if needed. Instead of pouring the seeds into a cluster of washable water, spray the seeds with a fine mist water sprayer. Keep the seeds moist and check daily. Label the se...

fertilizers in the garden We use fertilizer to grow our plants well, but when is the best time to fertilize? And how much of what kind of fertilizer do we use? On one page, we will see the basics for applying fertilizer in your garden. What is compost? The soil is rich in organic matter (compost!) And fertilizers are often used to get the nutrients the plants need. Consider fertilizers as nutritional supplements. For example, tomatoes need to grow in soils high in calcium. If you have grown and harvested plants in your garden in the past, these crops have taken up nutrients from the soil, and those nutrients need to be replaced before more plants can be grown in the spring. This is where compost (organic or processed) plays a role. Fertilizers replace the lost nutrients, which ensures that the nutrient content of the soil is at an acceptable level for healthy growth. If you are a brand new gardener, the best first step is to do a basic soil test in the fall and see what typ...
