How to Start Seeds Indoors (the easy way!)
Here in southern Connecticut (USDA Zone 7a), late winter through early spring is the time for starting seeds indoors, because frost-tender plants like tomatoes cannot go into the garden until mid to late May. However, those seeds can be started indoors weeks before they go out into the garden. Also, you can get a jump on the growing season by putting plants in the garden rather than sowing seed directly in the soil.
