Starting Seeds

Today I tried something I have never tried before, starting seeds inside several weeks before the last frost date. A packet of seeds costs around a dollar, and produces an absurd amount of plants, so I figured it was worth a shot. So in this picture you can see my little starter pots( i got them at the Dollar store, 10/$1), and filled them with 'starter mix'($4 from Kmart), not potting soil. I have read repeatedly that starter mix is better because seeds themselves contain all the nutrients they need for the first few weeks of their little lives, they dont need fertilizer or amendments. Cool, right? So in went the seeds, in the picture is cilantro, I barely covered them with soil, and put them in my warm front bay window. Seeds need to be around 70 degrees to germinate. You can even put them on top of the fridge until they sprout! And now we wait a few weeks and see what happens!
