 About this time of the year many a green thumb starts to itch. The best cure is a little preseason planting. t s..
 It is not too soon to start seed lngs. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks to bring the more commonly grown annuals to transplant size.
 For the best results, plant specialist in the US. Department of Agriculture suggest that you carefully control the temperature and the amount and kind of light the plants receive.
 If you keep the temperature within the growing chamber be- tween 50 degrees and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, you can grow excel lent seedlings with only two 40- watt flourescent lamps. Place the bulbs about a foot away from the seedlings. AS the seedlings grow, raise the lamps.
 Make your seedlings grow into short-stemmed, compact plants by delaying their towering period. Do this by regulating the amount of light they receive this is what controls Towering.
 Be sure to use fluorescent lamps for your seedlings. The heat and farred light of the incandescent lamp causes plants to grow long stemmed and spindly.
