Default Raising Seedlings

Have you tried planting direct? I know that many people don't like
doing this, but I have a garden full of healthy plants that all came
from seeds planted straight into the ground.

If you try this, remember :

* Keep them moist (mulch, drip systems, etc)
* Keep them safe (birds will want to dig in the moist soil)
* Plant multiples (I usually put 3 seeds in each spot, and remove the
weakest ones)

Hello everyone

I am in my second year growing hydro herbs, tomatoes, lettuces etc and
coming along fairly well for someone who doesn't have too much of a green
thumb.
