How to start your vegetable garden seeds with success!
What happens here
To plant small seeds like Roma tomatoes, use a tool like a mechanical pencil, stick, or toothpick to gently poke a small hole (about 1/4 inch deep) into the center of each cooled, expanded peat pellet. For convenience, plant seeds row by row. If the hole is too tight, carefully widen it. Then, using your fingers or tweezers, place two to three small seeds into each hole. This ensures better germination rates. If multiple seeds germinate, you will thin them later. Cover the seeds by gently patting the peat moss back over the hole. Repeat this process for all desired planting cells. Ensure you keep track of what seeds are planted in which rows by labeling them.
Goal: Plant small seeds correctly in the prepared peat pellets.
