Home and Gardening Expert Larry Pfarr wants to help you get a jump on your spring planting, even when the ground is covered by snow! Here is Larry’s list of tips and tricks on getting seeds started indoors!

• Place in a south face window. Or better yet, use grow lights
• Clean and sterilize containers to prevent disease problems
• Wide, shallow containers are best
• Only use a seed-starting growing medium
• Most seeds germinate best at temps between 65 and 75 degrees
• Covering planted seeds with plastic wrap or a grow dome will help
• Once plants are germinated, provide good air circulation to prevent disease problems
• If growing in front of a window, turn plants every day
