Spring is just around the corner, and it’s a great time to start seeds. However, some seeds, such as dahlias, nasturtiums, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, and more, need a little extra time to grow and produce fruit. That’s why it’s best to plant, water, and care for your precious plants indoors before planting them outside. It gives them a head start to grow and produce gorgeous flowers and tasty vegetables and fruit.
The Outdoor Kids Seed Starting Kits are educational and fun!
If you don’t have one of The Outdoor Kid Kits, you can still order them and receive them in time to learn how to grow seeds. But, you can get seeds, soilless potting mix, and the other items at your local garden center or home improvement store, too. The key is to make sure your seeds have the right conditions to sprout and grow. A warm, sunny windowsill, a mister to water until they sprout, and a lot of love are what it takes to succeed. Also, make sure the potting mix doesn’t stay too wet, or your seeds may rot.
Egg cartons, yogurt cups, and more
You can use many different items to start your seeds in, such as cardboard egg cartons, yogurt cups, cottage cheese containers, and more. Make sure to poke holes in the bottom of the containers so water can drain and your seeds won’t rot.
The perfect activity for friends and the entire family
Growing flowers, vegetables, and fruit is fun and rewarding for the entire family and friends. There’s satisfaction in growing your flowers and food. You’ll have a smile on your face when you go to the garden or on the patio or deck and snip a flower for a vase or pick fresh tomatoes for dinner. And fruits and veggies are fresh and better tasting than you can sometimes get at the store.
