Starting a garden from seed is a fun and cost-effective way to grow a variety of plants and create a garden that is perfectly suited to your goals.
There are so many reasons to start your garden from seed rather than buying plants at a garden center. Starting seeds is inexpensive, allows you to grow favorite crops like beets and radishes as well as unique varieties that are only available as seeds, and connects you with every step of the gardening process.
This information-packed guide includes advice about:
The type of containers and environmental conditions needed for seeds to thrive
The benefits of different germinating media
Sowing seeds indoors and transplanting your seedlings
Planting seedlings in the garden
In addition, the booklet includes a list of seeds that have special requirements, such as the amount of light in their growing conditions, and a helpful table with information about germination time and when to plant seedlings based on frost dates.
