Distilling 12 years of my failures into a blueprint for your success.

I killed seedlings so you don’t have to.

Hi, I’m Anne, a product designer and plant nerd who used to think seeds were “too hard.”

My seed starting guide will show you:

  • Which seeds will work for you, and when to start them,
  • How to set up an indoor seedling nursery, including finding grow lights that are actually bright enough for less than $20
  • How to make your own seed starting mix
  • How to fix common problems like weak seedlings, mold, and mysteriously dead seedlings.
  • How to zombie apocalypse-proof your garden 😉 🥬 by building the skills to start and save your own seeds.

It’s everything you need to know about seed starting - and nothing else - curated into a ~15-minute read.
