Seeds or sprouts?
Do you buy seedlings or seeds?
I bought sprouts this year (beans, tomatoes, strawberries, herbs, peppers) and planted them but I did radishes and corn from seed and I will totally do seeds again next year.
I just wasn't sure what is easiest from seed or sprouts.
Re: Seeds or sprouts?
well, for most things it's easiest to start from starts/plants/sprouts. However, root veg like radishes & carrots must be planted from seed (otherwise they get deformed during transplant).
I start from seeds b/c it's cheaper and it gives me something to do in the winter.
Have you seen my monkey?
i was wondering why I couldn't find beet and carrot plants! That makes sense now. i also couldn't find peas so bought seeds for those, too.
I put them straight into the bed this weekend, hopefully it's still early enough in the year that they produce.
I buy seeds for everything. And then, dependsing on the plant, I either start my own seedlings in the winter/spring or direct sow in the ground.
starting from seed is a bit of an art - you need adequate light to promote growth, a warm area to promotr germination and then the ability to control humidty to prevent dampening.
