If you’re new to seed starting, or you’d like to improve your seed starting skills, then I have the website for you. I’ve put together 15 great seed starting resources on a website called Hometalk. These articles, submitted by gardeners just like you and me, including tips for making seed starting pots from newspapers; how to disinfect seed starting equipment; why heat is important for seedlings, and much more.

You can find the Seed Starting Board: Successful Seed Starting Ideas here.

My new book, Plan and Build a Raised Bed Vegetable Garden, is now available in paperback from Amazon.com. This short book covers everything you need to know to plan and build your very own raised bed vegetable garden this year. Now is the time to begin your planning!
