We’ve all been there: you buy the cute seed packets, you find the perfect pots, you water them with love... and then, nothing. Total radio silence. It’s important to realize that seeds are hard-wired to stay asleep until the conditions are exactly right. In the wild, a seed doesn't want to sprout in the middle of a January blizzard or during a drought. They have evolved "locks," and you need the right "key" to open them.

From spa-day soakings to literal "trial by fire," we’re teaching you the types of seed starting needs, how to identify them on the packet, and what you might find at the garden centre.
