Yet by a week after Mother’s Day they have tomato plants 14 inches tall. Starting your seeds early gives you that head start. We use that well aged compost as a planting medium. Sound fancy huh? What that means is you take some of your piled, cooked, manure and put it in a Styrofoam cup that has a hole punched in the bottom and add a couple pre-soaked seeds and watch! Pre-soaking your seeds makes a very big difference and works with anything bigger than a tomato seed. Some of them I will actually soak and then pour out and then sprout. When you pre-sprout things really get moving fast.
