If you DEFINITELY want the seeds to sprout and ultimately flower (which you do, of course) place the seeds on a wet paper towel and put them in an enclosed container, such as an empty margarine dish. Make sure the lid is tight! Put them in a dark closet for about 3 or so days, the heat will encourage them to sprout. Plant them either outside as sprouts or put them in a soil filled Peat-Pot and grow them in doors until the first leaves sprout out. Then plant 'em outdoors and keep them watered for the first couple of weeks. That will provide you with the best chance of success!
Does anyone know how to plant the little packets of flower seeds?
I've planted many seeds from the little packets. Just read the instructions on the packet. The location, depth, watering requirements all depend on what you're planting. There are no general instructions that would apply to everything you could possible plant from seeds. So, check the back of the package.
Reply:Depending on the flower, you need to make sure you live in an area where the soil has warmed up enough. Then you loosen the soil, poke your finger in about 1-2", drop in a few seeds, and cover. Space them about 4-6" apart, water, and see what happens. If you want to just broadcast them over the ground, you can loosen the soil, spread them around evenly, and then throw some more topsoil on top, or just turn the soil lightly to cover the seeds. Good luck
Reply:you dig a hole, pour some water in it to dampen soil, put the seed packet in, cover with dirt, then water top soil, keep soil dampened until your plants come up, then water as needed.
Reply:Well if you plant the little packet of seeds I'm sure you'll NEVER get it to grow but if you open it up and set the seeds slightly in the soil you might be results with regular watering, weeding, and observation for pests. Happy Gardening. Good Luck
Reply:they now sell a tool at your local lawn and garden shop that will dispense these seeds one at a time'
Reply:umm read the directions on there..lol
Reply:depends what you plant. if its wildflowers then choose a sunny location work the soil about 3 inches and sprinkle the seeds and lightly cover and keep moist.
most veggies and fruit are best started in peat pot with "Starter soil mix" dampen soil with a spray bottle and add seeds. then cover to the appropriate depth. and cover with saran wrap so that you can get some air(to avoid molding) and the plants still have enough sunlight to germinate.
