Seedling and Tranplanting
How and When to Tranplant
When direct seeding, overseed to ensure you will have sufficient germination. After germination, thin seedlings to the desired spacing. For direct seeding, follow the directions on the back of the packages. A trick for direct seeding outside when the conditions are hot and dry, is to plant in the evening. Open the drill and water the soil, plant the seed and then cover the seed over. This usually works well for summer planting to ensure rapid and even germination.
