Home | Indoor Garden | Growing Seeds for an Herb Garden | Starting Seeds for Spring

<div style="text-align: left;">This Spring we're hoping to do a lot of work to the exterior of our house and lawn... painting the house, building a fence, planting a ton of flowers and having a garden. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Flowers can be super expensive, and I LOVE masses of flowers... so, I'm growing my own from seeds. In addition to flowers, I want to be able to go out into the back yard and pick my own produce for dinner... not to mention, I would hate to add up the amount of money I have spent on fresh herbs and heirloom tomatoes! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So, the process starts as an "indoor" garden placed by a sunny window, then I will transplant the plants outside in the Spring - early April.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAaPSvS9i1L3u-itPlr6i2y9Qiy2-U7ve6278VH_1P_UYmWpxxEIJvHExooUc9n4gmwbKDa48qQ5H5IckEEiYazUHm_Pq4J1QBTnIudoyFC5OM4eCO4vztdjxquKQGqNIzV973meGaDOo/s1600-h/IMG_0455.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439696231163730226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAaPSvS9i1L3u-itPlr6i2y9Qiy2-U7ve6278VH_1P_UYmWpxxEIJvHExooUc9n4gmwbKDa48qQ5H5IckEEiYazUHm_Pq4J1QBTnIudoyFC5OM4eCO4vztdjxquKQGqNIzV973meGaDOo/s400/IMG_0455.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /></div><div>I started with some lacquered trays I had from catering and inserted "Jiffy-Strips" biodegradable seed trays from Lowes. <br /><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUsiVwPszU7TI9i0VwgFS7HFUsOYv4PnmZ528hPya4VZSf_0NdfMBkqTw6fT-ttoi5n7jB-aAQgjZbFjNluvcrLdsV9vSEwRPCFWDrGo6QFEKA62qpe3m-0bktNw02Bu27N7bS_lq1_o/s1600-h/IMG_0456.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439696461322099490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUsiVwPszU7TI9i0VwgFS7HFUsOYv4PnmZ528hPya4VZSf_0NdfMBkqTw6fT-ttoi5n7jB-aAQgjZbFjNluvcrLdsV9vSEwRPCFWDrGo6QFEKA62qpe3m-0bktNw02Bu27N7bS_lq1_o/s400/IMG_0456.JPG" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 388px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Next, I filled the trays with seed-starter potting soil.
