How To Grow Your Seeds
Instructions on successfully germinating and growing the cool seeds I sent you
Hello Seed Members!
By now you've hopefully received your seeds, so let's talk about how to start them, when the time comes (if you haven’t received them, please reply to this email.)
First, as a general matter, any seed can be sown outdoors at the right time. With the exception of Echinacea, these are all warm weather annuals, so if you're direct seeding them, wait until the soil is warm and there is no chance of frost. If you prefer to get a head start, you can sow all of them indoors, with certain accommodations. That will require a warm, sunny location. If you don't have that, you'll need lights and a heat mat. You can use any container that will hold soil and drain water to start seeds. All seeds need to be kept continually moist but not wet.
Sunflowers, summer squash, and winter squash don't particularly like being transplanted, so direct sowing them is the usual approach. If you do want to start them indoors (which I do because I have a short growing season), I strongly recommend using CowPots for these three items; they can be placed directly in the ground once it's time to plant out, which minimizes root disturbance.
Alright, let's get into specifics.
