How and where to plant

Begin indoors with the basics: a few packages of seeds and a few tiny containers (even egg cartons will do) filled with a peat-based, soilless seed-starting mix. Label each pot with plant name and date started. Find the sunniest window in your home, mist to keep the containers moist and let nature take over. Some seeds can take more than two weeks to sprout, so be patient! Once seedlings mature, transfer them to larger pots that you can eventually move outside, or replant them in your garden after the risk of frost has passed.
