I would like to start some perennial seeds indoors, basically, carnations, dianthus, poppies, etc. How and when do you start them indoors to plant by next spring?

In getting ready for spring seedlings for the garden, I realized just how well my curry herb has done with the 1 liter plastic bottomless bottle over it, secured with a stick.
I love to recycle the plastic containers from single applesauce servings and even plastic baby food containers.
Save empty yogurt cartons to start plant seedlings for your garden in the spring. Empty cardboard egg cartons also work good.
Every year I hear people complain they missed starting their plants indoor. If you are in Missouri, or growing regions 5 (really just check your local USDA zone map), this is the time to start.
Start your seeds indoors, and after they sprout put one plant per small pot in a cold frame outdoors.
