NOW is definitely the time to get any seeds started for planting this year. Started now, by the end of April the plants should be garden-ready.

I take toilet paper tubes and paper towel tubes and cut them in half or 4's for the paper towel tubes. Then cut 4 slits in one end of each mini-tube at equal distances. This makes 4 panels that you then fold together like closing a box top. Place the little cups in any tray-like device (I use canning jar boxes or cola case flats) and fill them up. Place your seeds in the soil-filled cups and water. Place in a sunny location (South or West facing window) and rotate the tray every day or two, keeping the soil moist.

When you go to plant the seedlings, all you have to do is open up the flaps on the bottom and plant the whole cup, which will decompose during the growing season.
