If you grow with open-pollinated seeds, you also have the opportunity to save your seeds from season to season.
Many varieties, such as corn, beans and pumpkins are best started from seed directly sown in your garden. Other varieties such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and some herbs need the jump start of being germinated indoors and transplanted when the weather and soil is warmer.
With a little planning and knowledge you can get started now with your garden plan.
An ingenious, environmentally friendly way to recycle newspaper into 2 1/4 in. seedling pots which hold water remarkably well and can be planted directly into the garden. The newspaper wicks water to keep moisture constant and decomposes readily, eliminating rootbound seedlings. Economical and easy - even a child can do it.
Made of solid maple to last for years and even become an heirloom of your own!

The Super Sprouter Seedling Heat Mat Thermostat works with our heat/propagation mats. Simply plug your mat into the thermostat, insert the temperature probe into your soil or seedling media and use the knob to easily and closely control mat temperature and dial in the correct germination temperature.
Controlling the soil temperature for seeds is one of the biggest factors to successful seed germination for strong, healthy seedlings year after year. The thermostat stabilizes and speeds up the seed germination process, giving you a significant head start in your garden. Tomatoes and peppers need 85F soil temperature for ideal germination, and will sprout in as little as 3-5 days! Compare this to the up to 2 weeks needed for sprouting at 65-70F, which is the normal room temperature.
