Actual growing time for seeds will depend on what plants you've decided to grow. Planning around the last frost date for your area will help you determine when to start germinating the seeds. Read the packaging on the seeds you are planting to see if additional steps, such as soaking or chilling, need to be taken before they are planted. Check the Old Farmer's Almanac for growing dates specific for your region. Using a cell tray allows the seeds to grow without interfering with one another. Opt for cell trays that have drainage holes at the bottom if you can. They can be purchased at any gardening store. If your cell trays do not have drainage holes at the bottom, use a knife to poke holes in the bottom of each cell. This biodegradable option has perfect sized cells for planting and you may already have one in your home. After you've used all the eggs in a carton, poke a few holes at the bottom of each cell so the soil has good drainage.
