Want to grow your own vegetable seedlings from seed, but don’t know where to start?
If you’ve never started vegetables from seed before – or you’ve tried and struggled to get good seedlings – start here…
I’ll walk you through the process one short email at a time:
- From sowing your first seeds in a few small pots.
- To raising seedlings and moving them into the garden or a bigger pot.
We’ll keep things simple: one vegetable, a few pots and a sunny outdoor spot, such as a balcony, patio or backyard.
Your first email will arrive shortly after you confirm your email address.
Why I started growing my own vegetable seedlings
I used to struggle to get much of a harvest from vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and even squash and lettuce.
Each spring, I would rush out to sow seeds as soon as our community allotment was plowed, which, I have to admit, was usually quite late.
But despite all that rushing, my harvests didn’t improve.
Then I started growing those vegetables from seed before the allotment was ready – in pots and trays on the balcony in our backyard.
And when I could finally plant outside, I wasn’t planting seeds anymore.
I was planting plants.
And that made all the difference.
Seed-starting gave me something I didn’t have before:
Time.
It allowed me to start growing while it was still too early to sow outside.
But before I could make that work, I had quite a few things to figure out.
And that’s what this guide is about.
What we’ll cover in this guide
We’ll go through:
- What vegetable to start and when.
- What you’ll need to get started.
- Where to place your pots outside.
- How to sow the seeds.
- How to protect your seedlings from cold weather if needed.
- How to care for the seedlings as they grow.
- How to tell when they are ready.
- And how to move them into the garden or a bigger pot.
This is enough to help you through your first attempt, one step at a time.
By the last email, you’ll know how to take a vegetable seed, start it in a small pot, care for the seedling as it grows, and move it into the garden or a bigger pot when it’s ready.
It took me years of failed attempts, lost seedlings and changes along the way to figure this out.
But you don’t have to. You can start with what I’ve already learned.
