Growing Guide

Every garden begins with observation. Start with your seed packet: it provides the variety-specific instructions for sowing depth, spacing and timing.

Find the right light

Watch your growing space throughout the day. Choose seeds whose stated light requirements match the spot, and remember that sunlight changes with the season.

Water thoughtfully

Keep newly sown seeds appropriately moist according to their packet directions. Soil, weather and containers affect how quickly moisture changes; check the soil before watering rather than relying on a fixed schedule.

Plan for your climate

Check the recommended planting window and frost sensitivity on the packet. A hardiness zone describes winter conditions for perennial plants; it does not replace local sowing guidance for annual seeds.

Gardens and pets

Plant safety varies by species and cultivar. Before introducing any plant to a home with pets, identify it by its botanical name and consult your veterinarian or a trusted animal poison control resource. Keep seeds, fertilizers and garden chemicals away from children and pets.
