Tired of Weak, Leggy Seedlings? Live Seed-Starting Class Jan 28

Have you ever started a tray of seeds, watched them sprout, and then—almost overnight—they fall over and die? Do you wonder how often to water seedlings—or worry you’re watering too much? Or wonder why your seedlings grow weak and leggy?

You’re not alone. Many gardeners tell me seed-starting feels scary, confusing, and way more complicated than it should be.

Here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be.

[HAPPY DANCE!]

A Simple, Reliable Way to Grow Strong Seedlings

On January 28, I’m hosting a live class called Seed-Starting Success. I’ll show you a simple, reliable way to grow strong, compact seedlings that transplant well. A method you can depend on year after year.

And we'll bust a few myths in the process!

What You’ll Learn in Seed-Starting Success

In this beginner-friendly class, we’ll focus on the important things that make or break seedlings:

  • How to avoid weak, leggy growth
  • How to water seedlings with confidence
  • How much light seedlings really need
  • When to start feeding—and when not to
  • How to recognize and prevent common seed-starting mistakes

What’s Included in the Live Class

For an investment of $27, you’ll get live instruction, Q&A time for all your questions, and a printable workbook to follow along during class.

I bring over 40 years of hands-on gardening experience to this class, with a focus on simple methods that work in real-world gardens, not perfect conditions.
