Why start from seeds indoors?
Starting your garden plants from is a fantastic thing for gardeners of all experience levels. Here's why it's a game-changer.
Gain control over your tomato varieties— you choose the perfect ones for your garden.
Jumpstart the growing season—get your grow on while the spring is still cold and ensure your plants are hardy and robust by the time outdoor planting season arrives.
Witness the entire growth cycle—nurture your plants from seed to sprout to seedling to full-grown, fruit-bearing plant. Watch them grow right before your eyes.
It's a cost-effective—growing from seed can save you big bucks! A single seed pack (~$3-5) can often grow dozens of plants. If you were to buy that many plants, it gets expensive FAST! (~$60-100)
Rewarding— there is no satisfaction that compares to harvesting a vegetable that you grew from seed.
