Allow the water to soak in and when the soil has good moisture content, begin your planting. You must be careful, of course, not to plant in wet, muddy soil. Excessive rainfall, on the other hand, may make the soil so moist as to cause rotting of planted seeds.

While few vegetable seeds require special treatment to assist numerous flower germination, seeds can successfully be treated, according to Gilbert Bentley, flower expert. He advises as follows: Nick the seed coat of lupin, moonflow-e- r and morning glory; remove the rough outer coating of nasturtium, momordica, castor bean and sand verbena; soak canna, lily, jobs tear and sweet pea seeds in water for 12 hours before planting.
