Since I live in zone 6 it wouldn&#8217;t be smart to plant them outside because it is still too cold even for spinach. I like to start them inside because this will allow them to develop quickly and healthy before placing them in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>Since they will be inside I needed to make sure that I start them in a slightly cooler place then any other plants. I happened to place them in the basement because it usually remains around 50 degrees Fahrenheit through the entire winter.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I use a simple flourescent light that will give them a very good head start. I have discovered that giving them a head start before placing them outside gives you a much more larger and plentiful harvest.

better sprouting rate and you should get at least one seed sprouting from each container.<\/p>\n<p>What I like to do is place my finger down about 1-2 inches into the soil making a small hole.\u00a0 I
