Planting seeds (Method)

Planting seeds (Method)

17 April 2008. Planting vegetable seeds. 17 April 2008. Method of planting seeds.

Using this method the seeds are more easily spaced, since it is relatively easy to view where the seeds land, and the cover depth is more easily controlled. This is particularly advantageous with small seeds. In this case peas were planted.

If you decide to plant too early or too late, perhaps weather giving you spring fever prematurely, or waiting too late in the fall to plant.... Don't expect germination to be as good (or perhaps NOT at all). First seeds require specific planting temperatures to germinate. SECONDLY they require a certain amount of growing time at proper temperatures and conditions (rainfall, soil nutrients available, etc.) to grow to a mature enough size to survive any dormancy caused by either high or low temperatures or other weather extremes. Grass seedlings are like babies... you don't put babies outside in temperatures below 55 degrees or above 80 degrees without some additional protection to survive. There are "dormant" seeds in some grasses that are natures way of preserving the species. These seeds lay successfully dormant while waiting for the correct temperatures and weather conditions to occur before beginning germination. Often these seeds are one that are called "un-hulled" seeds. Removing hulls on seeds results in quicker germination, thus breaking natures dormancy protection.
