Starting garden plants from seeds indoors can be an enjoyable project for any gardener. It’s a relatively inexpensive way to grow a wide variety of plants. Many garden favorites are found in a greater variety of colors, sizes and growth habits as seeds, rather than as started plants.

The first thing to start thinking about is your selection, when selecting your seeds, don’t buy more seed than you will use in two or three years. With fresher seeds, the greater the chance the seeds have to stay viable.
