Fill a bucket with the soil and then water slowly and stir the water in. Allow the soil to become moist, not soggy.
Distribute the soil into seedling trays and compact it with your fingertips, filling the trays up to 1/4 inch from the top. Sow one seed on top of each cell.
Then sprinkle a little more soil to cover the seeds. Use a spray bottle of water on the soil to keep the surface moist.
This top layer of moisture will maintain elevated humidity levels, while the bottom inches of already moist soil will encourage the seed to sprout.
Other ways to maintain moisture and a high humidity level are to cover trays with plastic wrap, use a heating mat, and set a tray underneath to regularly fill water with.
Place seeds in direct sunlight near a south-facing window or under a grow light.
Maintain a temperature of 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and check for moisture loss every day.
When a good set of true leaves have appeared, the seedling will be ready for transplanting into a 4-inch pot.
Fill 1/3 of the pot with soil. Then cover the seedling with soil so that the leaves are 1/2 inch below the top of the pot. Tamp the soil down with your fingers. As seedlings grow, water them whenever the top inch of the soil become dry.
Transition plants from indoors to outdoors through the process of hardening off.
Depending on your area’s frost dates, likely this can be done in April or early May.
Begin transitioning seedlings on a sunny day with a low breeze. Set plants in the sun for a few hours during the warmest time of the day. Make sure they do not burn or get damaged.
If stems need to be made stronger to withstand wind, run a fan on them indoors for about 1 hour each day.
