How to Grow Spring Vegetable Seeds
The best way to grow spring-sowing vegetables will depend on the variety, so check the seed packet for specific instructions. In general, for seeds started indoors, first fill seed trays or pots with high-quality compost. Lightly cover the seeds with compost, keep them moist and place them in a warm, sunny spot to help them germinate.
Once seedlings appear, keep them in a bright area and thin them out to give the strongest sprouts room to grow. When the weather warms up, harden off the seedlings by gradually introducing them to outdoor conditions.
Some seeds to sow in spring can also be sown directly into outdoor beds or containers. For tender varieties, make sure the risk of frost has passed before sowing.
