This is the fourth installment of a series of audio slideshows by the Post-Gazette's Backyard Gardener Douglass Oster to provide instruction on the basics of gardening. This presentation covers how to start seeds in peat pots. This is a great way to start seeds early that don't like to be transplanted.
