Just dont make it tough on your self when you first start. There is always the easy and hard way approach, i'll detail the easy way for you-
1. Buy seedling soil, perlite and three inch pots with matching saucers.
2. In a seperate container mix 30% perlite to 70% soil.
3. Now fill the three inch pots and thoroughly soak, water will run out of the bottom when done.
4. Make a small indent about 4mm down into the centre of the soil and place seed in, then cover.
5. Wait, pot should dry every three to four days which is when you water again.
Then the seedling sprouts and you give it a week or two before repotting up into a 5 inch pot of seedling soil to which you'll need to add nothong but water for two weeks. Please make fertilizers last on the list when soil growing, soil has ferts in already, you buy seedling soil because this is the desired fert soil level for seedlings and very young veg plants.
For the hard way read numerous threads in the problem section. Peace
