Are Seeds Easy To Start?
Yes. Seeds naturally want and need to grow, and even a child can grow them. The 'back page' of each seed packet explains exactly how to grow the seeds inside.

What Is A Seed?
A seed is the mature ovule of a plant. It contains all the genetic material and stored energy within to grow into a plant similar to its parent plants, if growing conditions permit. Seeds are of all different shapes, sizes and colors quite amazing.

Where Do Seeds Come From?
Seeds are produced in the ovary of a flower when pollination of the flower has taken place. Plants may produce any number of seeds... from the impatiens, which may produce thousands from just one flower, to the lima bean, which produces just two or three in a pod.

Should All Seeds Be Started Indoors?
No, in fact, only a few seeds need indoor starting - those that are very slow-growing or need a headstart where the season is short. The individual packet will tell you specifically when and where to plant.

What Does "Germinate" Mean?
To germinate, a seed takes in water and begins to swell, and continues until the tiny plants emerge from the soil and begin to make their own food by photosynthesis.

How Long Until Germination?
The individual seed packet gives the approximate number of days from planting to emergence (when seedlings appear). For example, bean seeds take about 7 to 10 days to germinate after planting.

Are Ferry-Morse Seeds Chemically Treated?
NO. Ferry-Morse Standard and Ferry-Morse Organic seeds have no chemicals on them. You can also be assured that none of the varieties sold are genetically enhanced through biotechnology.
