Live Self Sufficient

Many people who are looking to start enjoying their crop early begin to plant seeds in early spring. This allows the plant to grow quite a bit inside and later to be transplanted to a garden outdoors. This early jumpstart takes out the usual time where most people need to wait for the ground to no longer be frozen and the weather to improve before they can plant seeds. When you start indoors you do not have those worries as you can control the environment in which they grow.

All you need to start early is soil that drains well, small containers, an area that gets good sun indoors and some water. Nothing special and no different than what you would be doing outside when you go to plant seeds except by starting them inside in small containers you get that extra jumpstart and can shave weeks off of your first harvest. You can grow inside for many weeks before you transplant your plants outside into the garden. This will also help you ensure you have enough plants growing for what you need in the upcoming season by knowing how many seeds planted have started to grow you get more confidence in there survival when moved outside.

If you use peat pods they are very small and take very little room to store in a house. You can place them in a window sill and as soon as you see the first leaf unfold transplant them to a larger container. As soon as the soil is no longer frozen and the climate is ready for planting seeds you can transplant your already few weeks old plants outside.
