I'd like to get a jump start on production and want to know how early to start. Hope this helps! The seedlings I started inside are very small 3 to 4 inches. The ones in the store are much bigger. Should I continue with mine, or buy new ones? New to site and tad confused. If I start my seeds indoors by the moon favorable dates for indoors when do I transplant them outside? There is a Best Dates to Transplant by Region chart at www. Fall and spring are good times to plant trees.
If you are looking to plant according to the Moon, the best time is after the Moon is full and before it is new again. I have been following your chart of moon favorable dates for starting seeds indoors. Do you have a chart that tells me when Moon favorable dates to set the seedlings in the outdoor garden beds?
It includes best days by frost and by the Moon. How late can you start pepper and tomato seeds in the house? You can start peppers indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last spring frost and tomatoes 6 to 8 weeks before. If you look at our Starting Seeds Indoors page, you can use our frost chart it's linked on the right side under the picture to figure out when your last frost date is and then see if it's still ok to start to your seeds indoors.
You can also use our Vegetable Growing Guide to help you get started. You are probably thinking of the "planting by the moon" chart, it tells you the best time to plant above ground and underground crops according to moon phases. Happy gardening! I'm looking for the page with the dates of do's and don'ts for planting and other things.
I saw it March 4, and can't find it again. One thing it meantioned was plant underground harvest on the 4th and 5th, but not the 6th and 7th.

Aim to transplant 12 seedlings into a half-sized seed tray. Use a dibber to mark out the spacing, with three plants across the width and four down the length of the tray.
It is better to transplant large seedlings into their own individual pots. Once your seedlings are transplanted, water well using a watering can with a fine rose attachment, and place on a bright windowsill, in a greenhouse or in a propagator. Monty Don explains how to tell when to prick out seedlings, what to move them into, and how to lift these fragile plants without damaging them, in this video guide.
Gently lift one seedling at a time using a dibber to lever out as many of the roots as possible. Always hold seedlings by a leaf, not the stem, as this is easily crushed, which would kill the seedling.
Transplant the seedlings to individual pots or new seed trays, which should be ready and waiting alongside. Filled with multi-purpose compost, the surface should be level and gently firmed.
Make a hole with the dibber and lower the seedling into it, almost to the base of the leaves. Firm it in carefully, ensuring the seedling is upright, well spaced from its neighbours and in a straight row. Too bad netting wouldn't work for squirrels! How about a chicken wire box? Good luck. Did you manage to find a deal on the wire somewhere? I'd love to find some for a little less money!
We found gardening wire at Lowes. Hey Heidi, great post! I usually go from "buy plants" to "watch plants die" I've pinned this in case this latest batch survives. SO glad I did, I'm constantly killing plants when I transplant them I suck as a gardener but really want to learn.
Hopefully your water trick will help me out this weekend when I fill my big planters. Thanks so much for sharing! Great tips! I've had many a plant die a few days later, so hopefully this will help. Thanks so much for linking up at the Real Family Fun link party! Hope to see you next week. What great tips Heidi.
Thanks I need all the help I can get in the garden. Thanks for sharing at Transformed Tuesday. Great tips, Heidi!
