Both Cindy and Larry recommend purchasing seeds for most of your vegetables because it is much more cost-effective. Vegetables are easy to grow from seed, with the exception of tomatoes and peppers. To have a bountiful garden throughout the growing season, work up a growing list, suggests Ed. Decide which crops to grow, where to plant them, and when to plant to spread out your harvest. With a little planning, you can spread your plantings out over the next several months and enjoy vegetables for a longer period of time.
Every seed packet gives all necessary information on the back.
It's important to remember to space the seeds according to the recommendations, and don't cover seeds too deeply. Most planting will be done between April 15 and May 15, says Ed. Spring vegetables, which are more cold tolerant, are the first ones you plant. They grow fast in cool spring weather and are ready early. Next, plant early summer vegetables.
