You’ll have a higher success rate with your organic gardening if you start some or all of your seeds indoors, just before the planting season gets underway. This is especially important if you’re dealing with organic seed you collected from your previous harvest. Most vegetable seedlings grow well indoors, assuming they get plenty of light and you don’t over-water them. Once they’ve grown two true leaves, begin transplanting the seedlings from their initial containers into larger containers, spaced 2-3 inches apart. When your garden’s ready, carefully transplant them into your prepared beds. This method can be especially effective if you don’t have enough seed to waste on the standard method of over-planting and subsequent thinning.
