Convenient total package for sowing indoors
This package contains (almost*) everything you need for sowing indoors:
- 5 liters of MM pre-sowing mix
- 5 MM-airpotjes (small size)
- 5 MM-airpots (large size)
- 10 plant labels with marker
Not only is it convenient, but it's also cost-effective. Because if you buy everything separately, you'll end up spending a lot more 🙂
*You will also need transparent kitchen foil and a spoon, but you probably already have those at home.
Most vegetables are sown directly in your bed: right in the right place. There, the seeds germinate, the seedlings emerge, and the plants grow until they are big enough to harvest.
Pre-sowing is done indoors.
The seedlings grow in a greenhouse or on the windowsill. There, you provide them with just the right amount of light, nutrients, and warmth to grow well. Until they are strong and big enough to be planted outside in your bed.
If you need to pre-sow a vegetable, the app will tell you step-by-step how to do it.

Many of the real summer plants - such as tomatoes, for example - take months to bear fruit. Moreover, they only do so when it is warm enough. They also need warmth for germination and growth.
Here in the Netherlands, it is too cold until mid-May. If you start sowing then, you will be too late. Because 4 months later, the days are shorter and it cools down quickly. The chance of harvesting ripe tomatoes then is very small.
That's why you sow tomatoes between late March and mid-April indoors. If you plant these plants in your garden at the end of May, you will harvest the first tomatoes at the end of July and you can continue until mid-October.
Zucchinis, pumpkins, and cucumbers grow faster, but they also need a lot of warmth during the initial stages. That's why you also sow them indoors, but much later: from the end of April to the end of May.

In addition to the summer vegetables, we also sow a few other types. Such as marigolds, basil and agastache. We do this mainly because they also germinate better at higher temperatures, and are extra vulnerable when the plants are still small. For example, against slugs.
That's why we often sow sunflowers in advance too: slugs love the young plants. But because they grow quickly, we sow them directly in a larger airpot.
If you only have a few compartments, you can also pre-sow many other vegetables in (small) air pots and let them grow. By the time you have space again, put the plants in the compartment and you can harvest earlier than if you only sowed then. Useful for lettuce or palm cabbage.
But beware: you can't pre-sow with species that can't tolerate transplanting, such as carrots or beets.
