First off, more bang for your buck! Buying seed kits gives you the opportunity to grow more than a traditional starter plant and at a lower cost. This will yield you more herbs, veggies and flowers for less coming out of your pocket. There is also a wide variety of plant seeds to choose from, as opposed to having a limited selection at a local nursery. Plus, starting your seeds indoors before transferring to an outdoor bed gives you a longer growing season. Don’t spend the first weeks of the warm season getting your seeds to sprout! Sprout them inside during the cold, late winter and get to harvesting earlier in the warm summer weather.
