There is, however, an art to growing plants from seeds.

It takes a little knowledge, good techniques and a bit of luck, says Brian Minter .

Knowing the amount of time required for germination helps determine when to start various varieties of seeds.

For heat-loving vegetables, like peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash, need a consistent minimum nighttime temperature of 10 C.

March weather can be quite fickle, so even cool-loving vegetables should not go out into the garden or into containers until daytime temperatures remain around 10 C.

It is a good idea to start successive plantings of seeds all spring and summer .

To keep your unused seeds fresh, store them in your refrigerator or freezer at a consistent temperature.
