Do I plant the seeds right in the ground, or do I have to start them indoors?

I planted them in a planter and they never grew. I may have gotten a bad batch of seeds but they didn't work by planting them in a planter.

You can plant the seeds right in the ground. This plant is quite hardy! I love how we seem to have less mosquitoes! Good luck!

I didn't have much luck planting them straight in the ground, although that was recommended. It's just too dry and windy in the spring here in the Southwest. I have not tried again.

Whether or not you can plant it in the ground depends on where you live. If you happen to live somewhere that is fairly warm year round, the non-mountainous regions of California, Arizona, and the flat flood plain that is Florida, then yes, put it in the ground. Otherwise, like me, who lives in the mid-Atlantic region, I have it potted, it lives outside in the summer, but by the first frost I bring it in and keep it near a sunny window.I sincerely hope that this answer helps you because in answering your question I have broken my own oath that I would stop providing free expertise for the greedy overlords of Amazon.

Hello. I planted them in potting soil from the home depot, About a half inch deep. But It should be noted that i didn't receive the correct seeds from the seller, and I have no idea what the plant i have is.

It mostly depends on soil temperature and the type of seed you are planting. Cold weather crops such as peas, lettuce, kale, cabbage can be planted directly in the ground when the weather is cool. Crops such as peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers are usually started in small pots or beds of potting soil indoors or in a greenhouse where the soil temperature can get into the seventies or eighties then transferred outside when the soil temperature gets warm and the threat of frost is past.

Choose your seeds I shop at farmers supply houses they sell to farmers for growing thus better quality seeds and more variety and cost lower. Next soak for 24 hours. Seed absorb water thus expanding and starting the growth process -- do not shorten the soak period or you lengthen the growing period. Place in tray darken area of tray for 30 hours seed grow naturaly in the ground it is dark under the soil. Then give it light sun or house lights works just fine for the sprout process. I place mine near the sealing in the room that the room light is on the most. Water daily. Enjoy.

First, soak the seeds for 2-3 hrs. Start them indoors in 2" pots. Use a "seed starting mix." Make a dimple in the well-watered soil. Lay the seed on its side in the dimple. Cover the pots with clear plastic to create humidity. Place in a well-lit, bright, but not direct sunlight. Mist daily depending on whether the seed casing looks damp or not. They will pop up in about 3 to 5 days! I planted 11 seeds, but only 5 made it. I have been growing mine under fluorescent lights. These instructions came with my seeds ordered from Amazon.com. For further instructions, search the Internet. First, soak the seeds for 2-3 hrs. Start them indoors in 2" pots. Use a "seed starting mix." Make a dimple in the well-watered soil.

Not sure what zone you live in. I would plant when grass starts to green up.

Hi, Brandie, sorry you're having difficulty opening the PDF Planting, Sprouting and Storing Guide. You may just have a very slow Internet connection. You don't really have to do anything to the seeds before planting them. Just follow the guidelines that are presented in the guide. Proper soil temperature, proper depth and spacing is all you need to pay attention to. If you want your seeds to germinate quickly, you can soak them before planting them into the ground or a pot. If you decide to soak your seeds to speed up the germination process, you just fill a bowl about 2-3" deep with lukewarm water. Then place the seeds into the water for 24 hours. I don't leave them for any more than 48 hours as you can drown them. I really recommend 24 hours. After you soak them you should plant them right away...the same day you remove them from the water is best.

I live in California, and usually start my seeding the 2nd or 3rd of March. For you, being in a colder climate, might not be a bad idea to wait until about the middle of the month. Start your seeding indoor, and transfer the plants to the ground about 6 weeks later.Good luck.

Absolutely! You just need to make sure the water level is high enough to keep your seed starting plug (rockwool plug is recommended) moist from the bottom. It is faster to germinate seeds in a seed starting system with a heat mat, but we also start seeds directly in our systems all the time. Good luck :)

I just planted some in my garden only a few days ago. so far nothing.. I did plant some in the house in those little green house plastic containers that come with the little dirt pods. they are already growing. took less than a week and they are already an inch tall.. the seeds I planted outside I water twice a day because it gets hot and dry quickly. I mixed garden soil and compost and steer manure into the garden. each seed is different as far as sun. So far I am happy with them.

I live in Massachusetts. The first year I grow them in a pot inside. The next spring I plant them outside and they do great! Once they are in the ground they are very hearty. This past winter they were completely buried in the snow. After the snow melted away they just bounced back up as if nothing happened.

o, please ignore previous answer! I was answering about another packet of seeds I bought. most of these seeds should grow in warmer climates, you would just start planting earlier than you would in a more moderate to cold climate.

certain seeds should be sewn directly in the garden - some seeds can and should be started in doors, tomatoes and peppers are some of these.Start peppers (both hot and sweet) approx. 8 weeks before the last frost. Start tomatoes approx. 6 weeks before the last frost. I like growing them in Red Solo cups. The larger the diameter of the cup - gives you a bigger plant.Water only once a day. Make drainholes in the bottom of the cups. I use cardboard flats from Costco to hold the "starter" plants. I also turn the plants once a day so they don

Just need to plant them and water asap :). Instructions can be found found on the Mr Stacky website which shows best planting practices. Roots in the ground, crowns just above the soil line. Roots come dormant and coming out of dormancy so they are thirsty when you get them. New signs of growth will happen in 1-3 days. The weight should just be ignored amazons shipping goes on weight which is not accurate with actual USPS rates for shipping live plants so we the seller has to correct it by adding weight.Thank you very much!

From my experience living where it is cold starting the seed is the hardest thing. I started the seeds in a Salton yogurt maker in a peat pot, they need warmth. Louisiana is probably more conducive to starting seeds. Aslo use fresh seeds, never old ones. Best of luck, tulsi is a wonderful herb.
