This can be tricky in the summer because the heat dries out the soil fast. To avoid this, I highly recommend setting up a drip irrigation system to automate your watering.

You can choose to buy a seed-starting mix or sift your own garden soil to remove any large chunks. We want the seeds roots and leaves to have an easy time navigating through the soil. Large debris makes it more difficult for our young seedlings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the seedlings are about 6 weeks old, it is time to harden them off and plant them into the garden.
