When should I start seeds outside?
Usually, it will say something like, "Plant inside six to eight weeks before last frost." Some types of vegetables, such as beans and squash, are best started outdoors. There is little benefit to growing them indoors because they germinate and grow quickly. Some flowers, such as poppies, are best planted outdoors, too.

Do I have to start seeds indoors?
Sowing seeds indoors allows you to get a jump on the growing season. If you start your vegetable seed planting at the right time for your area, you'll have strong, vigorous seedlings ready to go into the ground once the regular growing season begins. In areas with short growing seasons, this method is ideal.
Is it too late to start seeds indoors?
No, it's not too late.
You can start seeds year-round. It depends on what you would like to accomplish after planting your seeds. There is short-season gardening, hydroponic growing, indoor gardening, jump-start growing to have huge plants to transplant in spring, etc.
Should seeds be soaked before planting?
Soaking seeds before planting helps you to break down the seed's natural defenses against what it expects from Mother Nature, which then allows it to germinate faster. Another reason is that while Mother Nature actively assaults seeds, she also gave those seeds an internal gauge to help them know when they should grow.
Is it too late to plant seeds outside?
Start seeds too early, and you're faced with overgrown seedlings well before it's time to transplant outdoors. But start too late, and plants may never have the chance to bloom or fruit by the end of the season. Seeds started too late may never get large enough for transplanting outdoors until it's too late.
What do I do after my seeds sprout?
Once the seeds have sprouted, remove the cover. When the seedlings are young, you may want to re-cover them for a few hours a day to keep them from drying out. Over many years of growing my own plants, one thing that really helped me out was using a turkey baster to water the young seedlings.
