Soaking	Seeds that have a hard outer coat will germinate faster if they are soaked in water overnight.	Asparagus Lilyturf Lupine Mallow Morning Glory Okra Perennial Pea Parsley Thrift
Stratification	This process helps recreate the natural seasons so that the seed knows it's time to germinate. For cold stratification, place the seeds in moist peat moss or vermiculite in the refrigerator. For warm stratification, place the container in a warm spot. After the first month or so, examine the seeds regularly for signs of germination. As soon as the small white primary root appears, plant the seed in soil.

Hints

• Pre-sprout lima bean seeds to reduce chances of their rotting in the garden.
• Start some extra quick growing lettuces like buttercrunch and place them here and there between other seedlings in the garden. They will be harvested and out of the way by the time the other plants need the space.
