I know there have been posts on this but can I find them ??? Confused NO. I looked in many many posts, I found how to do hypertufa, how to plant your Semps after mail order comes in, best soils for semps etc etc etc. *Blush*

However I want to know some real basics. I don't think I have ever planted anything from seed. (I know I know but it is true) Rolling my eyes. Blinking Confused

I bought the seed starting mixture I have my seed starting containers and I just need to know ...
1. Pour in the mix -- Do I need to make it more porous?
2. Water the soil - A little or a lot?
3. Put in seeds? On top? under a bit of soil?
4. Place in sun? In Shade? Outside? I see some use a heat map and lamps but I really do not have a place for that.

5. Expect sprouting? 1 week, two, six?

I have been reading the posts on thinning and grooming and repotting but I just want to get these things started.

HELP I'm all ears!
