You can use recycled pots — yogurt containers, for example, but be sure to poke holes in the bottom. Plastic six-packs and flats are good choices and can be reused year after year. Biodegradable pots are fine, too. After sowing, set the containers in a warm location. On top of the refrigerator or near a radiator are usually good spots. Check pots every day.

As soon as seedlings emerge, place pots in a bright location.
A sunny window will do but supplemental fluorescent lights will give you the best results.

No doubt most seasoned gardeners know these tips, my tips are for novice like myself just starting out!
