Why I Love Growing Plants from Seeds

Several years ago, we had to move. I had to give up a garden I loved very much and start over with a big, bare yard.

Even if I could find all the varieties of plants I wanted to grow at local garden nurseries, I knew there was no way I could afford them! My old garden was a small, urban lot, with every square inch filled with plants. With that style of growing, I knew I had to up my seed starting game to have a chance at flower-mania in the new garden.

Each year since we moved to our current home (Ontario, Canada), from February to May, I start batches of seeds indoors and raise the seedlings under fluorescent lights. No fancy equipment: just the same lights you would use in a workshop or basement.

My seed-raising has been so abundant, that I’ve been able to fill several huge garden beds in just a few years. I’ve got about a hundred different flowering perennials, plus I grow a range of vegetables and herbs each year as well. I have many old favorites and also try a bunch of new ones each year.

It’s often said that seeds aren’t expensive so what have you got to lose? But I see it a bit differently. I do find seed buying can start to get pricey, especially when you want to grow a lot of different plants. My remedy is a thoughtful, waste-free approach to seed sowing that you’ll find in the book.

If you are new to this, I do hope you’ll try it. Indoor growing is a great antidote to the winter blues, and a lottery win for gardeners like us who love an abundance of healthy, beautiful plants.
