Why this step matters
A date on a calendar is only part of the decision. Soil conditions, overnight temperatures, and crop needs matter too.
Your practical steps
- Check local advice, the forecast, and the seed packet.
- Gradually acclimatize indoor-grown transplants.
- Sow at the recommended depth and thin to final spacing.
- Label variety and planting date, then water as needed.
Ready to move on when…
Every planting has a label, suitable spacing, and a first care check scheduled.
Bring the step to life
Visit often enough to notice changes while they are small. Work at the pace of your garden; this is a sequence of decisions, not a fixed six-week course.
Keep your progress in the growing-season checklist. Local conditions and crop-specific guidance take priority over a generic task list.
