I will be starting flowers from seeds (indoors) best way ? and the best time to do so?
Your growing season may be completely different from mine. I live in Montreal. My sister in Arizona plays with her beautiful roses this time of year. My daughter in Savannah has magnolias blooming this time a year. So it all depends where you live.



Seeds take about three months to go from seed to plant.



Buy peat moss and dampen it thoroughly for a day. Place in container (less than 4 inche container.)



Open a package of seed and pour a few seed only on a creased white paper. Tap gently on the paper so that seed roll down to different places on the damp soil.



Depending on the size of the seed you may or may not have to cover it with soil. For most tiny seed you should not cover it with soil. Place container in plastic bag. You might place this on a warm place for two days then transfer to the brightest window or put it under lights.



Seed germinate usually from 7-21 days but some may take as long as 2 months to germinate. You should not need to water the container if the plastic bag is firmly closed. Should soil begin to dry out add water with a spray only so as not to make seed go down too far.



When seedlings have four leaves and are not too spindly, you can carefully remove some and place them in another similar container.
Reply:Sowing is placing the seeds in media so they grow.... Most seed packets will give a recommendation on time to start indoors before your last frost date. Some plants are not recommended for starting indoors because they don't like to be transplanted. You can pick up cheap plug flats and media (dirt) from Lowes, Menards, etc. You don't need one of the expensive plant lights because your plants will be inside for a short period of time. Those cheap cool white fluorescent bulbs work fine. The seeds generally give a planting depth on the packet... follow that. Then place the containers/flats/whatever you plant them in under the lights just a few inches from the fluorescent light... it won't burn them, don't worry! Sunny windows generally aren't light enough so the plants will get really sprawly and leggy. Transplanting to outside generally shouldn't be done until after the last frost. Hope this helps...
Reply:Sowing means planting. YOu can buy a plant lamp for about 10 bucks at walmarts or lowes. They work well.

Take the seeds and lay them in a paper napkin (seperated seeds)

keep it wet and the seeds will germinate and thanyou can plant them for faster growth. or just buy planting soil, use a potting can or what ever you choose and barely cover the seeds with soil.

The lamp will help them, to grow. If you have a window which gets plenty of sunshine that's the place to have the planter.

As for some plant starter food for the plant . those lil fertilizer sticks work well.
Reply:Sowing means planting.The best time depends on your growing season and what your planting.

For easy planting in the ground use egg cartons that are made of corrigated paper.After the seed has come up and your going to plant outside you can just cut little slits in the bottom of the container and put the whole thing in the ground. As the paper rots it will feed the seed.

Plant the seeds about a month before you can plant them outside.
