Gardening Tips For Maximum Harvests

Many Seed Pod labels identify plant height. Gardens grow
and look their best when tall plants are planted in the back,
medium plants along the sides, and short plants in front. If
plants are all the same size, like Salad Greens, they can be
planted anywhere.
}
Do not remove Labels from Seed Pods. The labels identify the
plant type and plant height, show the germination time, and
inhibit algae growth.
}
Grow Domes help regulate moisture and temperature for
optimal germination. Leave them on until plants are nearly
touching the domes.
}
Seed Pod Kits for large plants like Tomatoes and Peppers
often receive fewer than 12 pods to compensate for the large
plant size. Place Seed Pods in each back/side opening and in
the center front opening. Put Plant Spacers in the remaining
openings.

Some seeds germinate in under 24 hours. Some take 24 days
or more. Most labels give an estimate of how long your seeds
will take to germinate but many factors impact germination.
}
As a rule, if you are comfortable, so are your plants. Plants
are impacted by temperature. Cold weather plants, like Salad
Greens, germinate better in cooler weather. Heat lovers,
like Tomatoes and Peppers, will germinate faster in warmer
temperatures (above 70 degrees F). But don’t sweat it! While
they may take a bit more time, your seeds will germinate.
}
If you are growing your own seeds, plant 5-6 seeds per
pod and check the seed packet for information regarding
temperature and days to germination.
