It's unimportant if the seeds you are beginning
are going to make their way outside once sprouted or if they're going to
be additions to your indoor herb garden
starting seeds indoors is the right way to ensure successful growth.
The tiny seeds and seedlings do not do well with harsh weather changes
and a late frost or unwarranted rain can stop them from growing and even
prevent an entire harvest cycle. There is also the issue of birds
getting into the seeds as a food source.
There are lots of commercial assistants you should purchase to make germinating seeds a straightforward project. Peat pellets that include a small hot house need nothing more than adding water to the seed and peat and covering with the supplied lid. But some water, high-quality soil, daylight and time are all you will need.
Like plants, seeds like to be kept damp so a good drainage system in the pot is necessary so they don't get too much water. There's no solution to them getting too dry though, just do not forget to water them.
Don't count on all of the seeds growing even if you have purchased seeds from a reputable source some will be duds. For this reason, make sure you plant more of each seed than the desired number of plants you are looking for.
As the seeds start to sprout, keep them clammy and turn them continually to make even sun exposure. When the leaves begin to come out you can kick off the process of transplanting. Whether you are going to be growing the plants inside or outdoors it's the same procedure. Delicately take the new seedling with the roots and plant it in a new pot, if you are taking it outside you can plant it right into the ground.
