How to plant seeds for seedlings

You need to prepare high-quality soil and fill wooden trays or boxes with it. You can immediately place the plantings on the windowsill. But you need to ensure that the seeds do not freeze.

It wouldn't hurt to install additional light. After all, tomatoes need at least 10 hours of sunlight a day, but ideally 12-14 hours.

As soon as the first leaves appear, the seedlings can be transplanted into separate containers so that the plants do not interfere with each other.
