Starting seeds indoors is a time-honored way to get a jump on the season. It&#8217;s also a fun and rewarding project that you can often do with whatever you already have on hand; no need to buy any special supplies. And with a\u00a0few dollars-worth of seeds, you can grow lots of plants very inexpensively. Starting your own seeds also allows you to try out\u00a0unusual and interesting varieties\u00a0that you can&#8217;t find at a local garden center.

That&#8217;s what&#8217;s known as hardening off your plants. To do this, place the seedlings outside for a short time in a protected spot (about an hour or two). Each day, increase the length of time you leave them outside until they can remain outdoors all day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9f2ea0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f9f2ea0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"983\" src=\"https:\/\/ifoxany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10-833x1024.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5173\" alt=\"How to Start Seeds Indoors to Jumpstart Your Spring Garden\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ifoxany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10-833x1024.webp 833w, https:\/\/ifoxany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10-244x300.webp 244w, https:\/\/ifoxany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10-768x944.webp 768w, https:\/\/ifoxany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10-1249x1536.webp 1249w, https:\/\/ifoxany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10-600x738.webp 600w, https:\/\/ifoxany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/10.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cb4d65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8cb4d65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Indoor Seed Starting Problems<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-baf2bfa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"baf2bfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sometimes, you might notice your seedlings struggling.
