purple, orange and yellow, depending on the variety. Coxcomb seeds are tiny and the seedlings’ roots are sensitive to transplanting. Start your coxcomb seeds indoors four weeks before the last frost date in your area.
Snow peas are not shelled; they are served raw or lightly stir-fried. The pods will be 2 to 3 inches long (5-7.5cm) with tiny seeds that barely bulge in the pod. There are both bush and tall varieties. Snow peas sometimes have fibrous strings that must be removed....
In northern regions, plant starts and seeds again in May or June and set them in the garden in July. Start seeds indoors as early as 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in spring. Sow seed outdoors when the soil can be worked in spring. Transplants can go in the garden from 5 ...
they’ve also discovered the rewards of growing plants from seed. It’s easy to become addicted to watching life sprout from a tiny seed that you’ve nurtured yourself. Starting seeds indoors allows you to get a head start on the growing season and to get your hands dirty, even if there...
gently work the seed into the soil using a large plastic leaf rake. However, to avoid redistributing the evenly broadcasted seeds, which can result in uneven, clumpy grass growth, turn the rake upside down and use the back of the rake with very short, light strokes to work in the seeds...
Once the “bleeding” ceases, the plant will focus on new buds. Tiny bud locations that developed before dormancy will begin to swell and slowly form new shoots. It can take up to a month for these new shoots to form leaves and begin serious growth. ...
Planting these flowers with seeds is quite common, especially in pots. Propagating from seed indoors is certainly possible. However, it is not the preferred method as you are unlikely to grow a plant similar to the parent. African Violets are cross-pollinated and hybridized to produce the stunn...
How to Plant Eggplant Start seeds indoors, sowing them ¼ of an inch deep in flats or peat pots. After the risk of the last spring frost has passed and daytime temperatures are 70° to 75°F (60° to 65°F at night), set seedlings in holes 24 to 30 inches apart in rows 3 feet...
Plant seeds just 1/4 inch deep (you can just cover lightly with seed-starting mix). Water in and keep peppers moist (though never wet). Ensure your seedlings have good airflow and aren’t crowded. Once the seedlings are a good enough size and big enough to outgrow a tray, we will ...
There’s a secret to getting good seed germination. And it all starts with this simple fact: all seeds need moisture. As you may have learned in my seed anatomy post, the seed itself is actually a seed coat (like a type of armor) that protects the embryo (future plant) inside. The ...
