Starting Seeds

Here it is mid-February already and I'm listening to the wind howling outside. As I look to the north I see some pretty nasty looking storm clouds. To the south, just a leaden, gray sky. It's hard to believe it's nearly time to start seeds for this spring's planting. Of course, if you're growing completely inside, it can be time whenever you choose. Since I run a mix of indoor, greenhouse, and outdoor planting I am pretty much working with something all year long. For the purposes of discussion, I'm going to assume outdoor planting.

Different seeds (plants) have different requirements for germ...
