Experienced Gardeners, How to Germinate Seeds?
SweetAdeline asked:
I am trying to grow sweet basil, perennial poppies and annual thumbelina zinnias in deep pots indoors. I am not sure how to get the germination process going, and the seed packets mention nothing about it. I have an understanding of what lighting conditions are needed for each seed. From my understanding, all 3 need either sun/partial shade or full sun. Being that it is the last week of May, and last frost has past, can I just put the seedlings in pots full of soil and put them in direct sunlight? I am reading in different online sources that I could put them in the pots with well saturated soil and place plastic bags over them? If the seeds germinate between 5-10 days, do I not water the soil until I see a sprout, or what? And do they need to be in indirect sunlight, or placed in a dark spot in my home to germinate? I have already put them in pots, so hopefully the damage isnt done already. I am clueless. Help!
