Starting seeds isn't hard, it's keeping them alive until they are ready to go outside that is challenging. You can save a lot of money by starting seeds, but only if they live. I have killed more seedlings than I care to admit. Armies of tiny seedlings have fallen under my care (or lack thereof).

Here are some of questions you might want to ask yourself before you start seeds for the first time.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll be giving it another shot in a few more weeks for my container gardening.
