I'm setting up my full seed-starting kit this weekend!

I’m a little nervous about starting my seeds this year. I’ll be changing the location of my seed setup and starting them in my basement. My basement stays pretty cool and, in some areas, can remain damp despite the dehumidifier. 

And we all know what that can lead to. 

So, I thought now would be a good time to remind gardeners of the dangers of this annual menace and how easy it is to prevent. With that in mind, I’m making some changes to my seed starting setup this spring to prevent problems before they start.

Oh! And a quick reminder that there are quite a few seeds that need to be cold stratified before they will germinate. Here’s a list of the most commonly planted seeds that need this treatment, as well as the easiest way to do it!

Happy seed-starting, friends! I'll see you on Sunday.
