2. Seed Testing on Paper
Before you spend money on maintaining a summer garden, it’s important to test your seeds. Not all seeds will sprout and some can be DOA from the packet. And with summer being such a hard time to grow, you don’t want to be tending to your soil and crushing egg shells all over the place if nothing is going to sprout. One of the easiest ways to test your seeds is to lay them out on moist paper towels. The ones that are going to sprout, will begin to on the wet paper towel. The ones that are dead, will just remain the same. Once the sprouted ones have begun to show signs of life, you can easily plant them in soil so they can mature.
