Multiple Sowing
Multiple sowing allows you to produce more crops with less space. Start by sowing six or eight seeds together in each cell in the tray. Don't thin them out, let them grow and clump together. When transplanted outdoors the plants will find their own space.

Pre-Germination
Pre germinating seeds can speed up slow germinating seeds. This allows you to control the temperature and increases the changes of succesful germination. To encourage pre germination spread your seeds out on damp paper towels. Place the paper towels inside plastic bags to maintain moisture (do not seal the bags, allow some airflow). When the roots reach about 3mm they are ready to sow. be careful not to break the roots when removing them from the paper towels, as they tend to grow into them.

Transplanting
Plants may be transplanted as soon as they are large enough to handle. They must be lifted carefully with a small trowel, or if they are very small, such as Golden Feather, with a still smaller blunt article, disturbing the roots as little as possible. It should be done when the ground is wet, and preferably in the evening. In dry weather they should be well watered twelve hours before they are disturbed. Shade them from sun for one or two days. Cabbages, Lettuces, Cauliflowers, Broccoli, Kale, and other members of the Brassica family must be transplanted, or they will be a failure. Root crops such as Carrots, Parsnips, Turnips, etc., must not be transplanted, but thinned out. Celery may be transplanted in June or July.
