Welcome back to the podcast. Today we're going to be talking about indoor seed starting.

When it comes to indoor seed starting, especially for beginners, this is the problem.

Often when we begin starting seeds in the spring, we go into it focusing on the first things we need to do.

Obtain the supplies, select the seeds, plant the seeds, and wait.

Waiting for the seeds to sprout is the hardest part, it seems, until they actually do.

Then we're hit with questions we didn't know we need to ask.

It's like preparing for the birth of your first baby.

You get the nursery ready, choose the car seat, take the childbirth classes, but after the

baby is born, you're struck with, now what? Well, maybe that was just me, but you get the idea.

I think a mistake that beginners often make is not thinking through the entire process,

from seed starting all the way through to the final result, planting out the garden.

Today then I'm going to give you a roadmap of sorts. That way once those seeds actually start to

sprout, you are prepared and you know what to expect and how to get those seed babies in

their ultimate home at the right time in your outdoor garden.

Welcome to the Beginners Garden podcast. I'm Jill and I'm so glad you're here. In this podcast,

you'll find easy to understand conversations about how to grow your own food. As a first time

gardener myself 11 years ago, I remember what it's like to feel overwhelmed,

so I want to make gardening so doable for you that you'll find yourself falling in love with gardening

just like I did. Let's dig in.

Before we get started today, let me just take a minute to wish you a happy new year.

Our team has taken a break over Christmas, but we worked really hard in December for some exciting new things this month to help you get started with your 2024 garden right.

One of the things we're planning for 2024 is more live online workshops.
