We’re growing a whole garden from seed.

Minus a few pepper plants we bought because we wanted to support the local high school FFA chapter.

Someone asked my husband should they grow from seed or do starts?

Personally, I don’t care what folks do as long as they are doing something to produce their own food.

Find the thing that works for you and do that!

We grow from seed because it’s what is most cost efficient for us.

I’m constantly learning the best ways to start different vegetable seeds. The small ones will give you a headache.

You can get a ton of plants using seeds for a few dollars vs buying a few starts for twice the cost.

It takes more time and planning to grow from seed, but tbh it’s worth it to not have to spend as much money on plants.

So when someone says, they grew that from seed, just know it’s a lot more involved that just throwing seeds down in a hole.

For anyone still wanting to pick up plants, the greenhouse is closed this week for spring break but will be back open next week!
