seed starting

Lettuce seedings

After trying several different methods to start seeds outside, this has been the best. I used a tray (use an food container, egg carton, or stryofoam container) and a seed starter soil mix. I put a few drainage holes in the bottom of the container, then I planted the seeds. I put a reused plastic cover on it and placed the container on foil (a used windshield blocker). I kept the soil mix moist until the seeds spouted. When the temperature warmed up I took the cover off and planted the seedlings in the ground.
