March Seedlings Grown Indoors
Seedlings in strawberry boxes Starting seeds to grow your own transplants is fun. Sterile, well-drained planting mix, the correct temperature and light will help you be successful, but things come up, our attention gets diverted, and our efforts have mixed results.

Then, it was too cold to go outside much and we were super busy and then the seeds popped roots and leaves and well, the photo tells you everything. Many experienced gardeners say to pitch them out and start again but I put them under lights to see if they would like to keep growing. After all, at this time of year, we're mostly puttering while waiting for better weather. seedlings under lights
