Should You Start Your Container Vegetable Garden with Seeds or Plants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At this time of year, the garden centers are full of enticing plants. You’ll find tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, kale, lettuce, herbs…you name it, you can probably find plants waiting for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But along with plants are seeds – racks and racks of seeds. And sometimes you’ll see the same type of plant and seed available at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So which should you buy? What grows best in your container garden<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re new to container vegetable gardening or indeed to gardening of any kind, it can be confusing to shop for supplies. Many new vegetable gardeners wonder whether they should spend their money on seeds or plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It really depends on what you want to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you can start nearly all vegetables from seeds (or starter plants\/roots). Some are trickier to start than others. Most gardeners, myself included, like to start most vegetable plants from seed<\/a> because we can choose from among a huge list of varieties that you just can’t find at the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re new to gardening, however, the easiest way to start your garden is to purchase starter plants at the garden center for certain plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
