Based on the average germination times listed on the seed packet, check the seeds in a few days to see if any have sprouted. If no packet, check seeds in seven to 10 days.

It’s easy to calculate when to start seeds for germination -- use the anticipated last frost date and count backwards the number of weeks needed to transplant outdoors, in most cases 8 to 12 weeks.
