Karen Reeves and Sue Davis shared some great information on starting seeds indoors at the February Master Gardener meeting. Karen demonstrated her PVC indoor grow light table set up, home made germination mat warmer apparatus, and different types of growing medium. Sue showed us her methods for starting and watering seeds.
