I want to start gardening, and I am planning to plant a few carrot seeds and a few lettuce seeds to get my garden started. When should I plant the seeds? I was thing around late March, what do you think? Also what other plants should I add to my garden, Also any tips for caring for the carrots and lettuce? By the Way I live in Roseville California, which is near Sacramento.
Also does it matter if its raining?
There is no set date or month to start a garden. You go by changes in the soil and weather. Not all seeds or plants should go in at the same time. Some like cooler weather to germinate and some like it very warm or it may be anything in between. Start your garden when the soil feels warm to the touch and there is no danger of frost. Your package of Seeds will give the germination temperature, so when your weather is appropriate, that’s when you plant.
I don’t know if you get excessively hot temperatures, but some veggies lag in really hot weather–usually those that germinate in cooler weather so it is good to get them in early.
Lettuce radish peas and onions like cooler temperatures and can tolerate mild frosts. Tomatoes and peppers like it warm and should be the last thing planted. They should go in as plants not seed. Cucumbers and most vining plants like it warm but not too hot.
It takes a couple of weeks for carrots (and most seed) to come through the ground. Carrots prefer sandy or very loose soil
I guess that will get you started. There is much more I could say but I’d have to write a book. Look around and see who in your area has a Garden and talk to them. You can learn much more that way. Don’t worry about bothering them. There is nothing gardeners like more than to talk gardening. The best knowledge you can get is from someone who’s been there
Good luck with your garden
A fruit is the ripened ovary—together with seeds—of a flowering plant
Where do cultivated & seedless fruits come in at
example bananas in the wild have seeds in them while most bananas sold are cultivated and dont have seeds
Are they still a fruit as well as other fruits that dont have Seeds because of cultivation or genect modification.
The defintion of fruits having seeds would exclude those right ?
Still a fruit; no seeds due to genetic modification.

I live in British Columbia Canada and am wondering when is the best time to start Planting the seed packages i have purchased…on the package it says after the last frost…but when is that?
Depends on where in British Columbia you are. Check the chart on this page:
http://www.victorySeeds.com/frost/bc.html
Depending on the seed, you can start them inside in a sunny, south-facing window 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, and then transplant the seedlings out then. But some flowers don’t like being transplanted and prefer being sown where they will grow. The package should mention it if starting inside is an option.
Is there a difference? Are they both safe to eat? Why are the white seeds so much smaller than the black seeds? Why are there two different Seeds?
i avoid eating the seeds, but if you swallow a seed nothing happens
For the first time I planted seeds last year. Experimented 1st with pumpkin seeds…grew like crazy but they choked each other and the pumpkins stayed pretty small. Perhaps too many seeds were planted into each hole? The seed packets tell you how far apart to plant the seeds, but not how many to plant together.
For plants like pumpkin, cucumber, melons, you only put one seed per hole if you are direct seeding into the garden, but you can put several Seeds close together. Then when they germinate and have grown a couple weeks, you thin them out leaving the strongest. I always start these plants in pots a month before I am able to plant in the Garden(May 1 here in MN) Once in the garden with pumpkins and squash, I usually leave 2-3 feet between plants, with melons and cukes, 1 1/2 feet between plants. Smaller plants like beans, peas etc…6 inches.
