 Hi, I'm Rachel Steveder. I am the farm manager at UVM's Catamount Farm and we are going to talk about starting seeds today. We have a whole lot that we have planted in here. We've been going since late February, but there are still things that you can be planting at home. A few of those things, so rock-leaf. So what are the things you need to start your own seeds at home? You need a container. You need some kind of a potting soil and you need your seeds. Once I have my container filled, I like to make sure it's nice and wet all the way through to the bottom of the container. Then I use my fingertips to make a little bit of an indent in the soil so that the seed has somewhere to rest into. And then you sow your seeds, take a little more soil, cover them up, and if they still look a little dry, I'll water them one more time. It depends on the seed, but in general, if your seed hasn't sprouted within a week, something probably went screwy. Either it got too dry or maybe the seed is too old and you may want to try again. And that's how you start seeds.
