My small seed needs to grow and become a whole person again.

Before storage, the seeds need to be dried in order to avoid germination.

The seeds need 14 to 21 days to germinate.

Some seeds need cold treatment before germination, and refrigerators do a fine job.

Remember that some seed, such as tomato, grows rapidly and does not need a head start until well into early April.

In order for germination to occur, seeds need to be fairly close to their host plant.

The seeds need to be scarified before they can germinate.

Some wildflower seeds need a period of cold before they will germinate.

And seeds need very warm soil to sprout, roughly 70 degrees.

The seeds are released, but need to have a lower moisture content before germination can begin.
