There's so much to learn from when ,what, where and how. And there there are herbs ,veggies and fruit. And what go next to each other and what don't. Then compost,soil,water,seedlings,harden,light. And storing what you have picked or how to pick them. Its crazy but I love it and I've have aways to go.

What you need for inside start.
When to start your seeds
Heat mat and lights and termo (cost around 50 or so $ but way worth it:
The temp you want to base around I did 72 to 74 for random seeds in a 36 cell.
Finding cells to match the size of your mat is nice.
Bottom water, keep lights 2inches above you plants. Don't forget to water. Harden off your plants shade,somelight, then full light. Takes a week or so.
Light cycle for inside plants is 16/8 a cover castday is better then grow lights.
And full summer sun is 8 hours and inside lights aernt needed anymore.
Put your plants out but watch for forst,snow or rain.

I'm tired and this is all I wrote thanks all that helped.

Good start on the pumpkin seedling. Now you need to loosen up all those roots going around the outside. Just take a toothpick or something and gently loosen them so they hang down. Then fill the pot up with soil and pop the seedling with root ball in. (Or keep the seedling in the pot the way it is and fill in with soil around it). Firm the new soil down around it a little bit to eliminate air pockets and water in.
