Seeds vs. Transplants

You need to decide if you want to start from seed or begin with transplants


Seeds:

I like seeds, mainly because they are cheap and you'll have enough to use for a few seasons. Plus watching them grow from basically nothing and the sense of accomplishment when the plant actually produces is wonderful. But, there’s more of a risk of your seeds not germinating, seedlings failing to rodents or pests, and plants starting off a bit slower which means your harvest takes longer


Transplanting:

this means you’ve bought a fully germinated seedling from a nursery or greenhouse and all you have to do is transplant into your garden when applicable. They cost more and you only get the one use out of it BUT you get the same sense of satisfaction from your harvest AND transplants are best to ensure a successful germination because there’s no need to worry about starting seeds indoors and/or having your seedlings fail.



Here's a garden with transplants and a garden from seeds, they look the same and produce the same so it's all a matter of how much money and effort you want to put in.
