Seed Starting, Step By Step
The variety of plants that can be grown from seed never fails to amaze me. Certainly, there are seeds for all locations and all levels of experience. Exotic and personal favorites are a lot easier to find in seed packets than they are in the conventional packs to be found in nurseries and garden centers. Naturally it’s great to have such a selection to choose from but for many people the greatest joy, by far, is the pleasure to be had from growing plants all the way from seed to mature plant. The sense of pride and pleasure to be had is good enough reason for everyone to start their own seeds. This book takes you step by step so you too can enjoy the massive pleasure of growing your own vegetables and flowers from seed.
