I always have to start stuff indoors if I don’t want to buy. We have too short a growing season.
And the selection when buying isn’t as good.
I like the heirloom varieties so I can save the seeds myself.
Me too. I like heirlooms the best. I do try hybrid stuff now and then, but mostly do heirloom
We are normally blessed with a long enough growing season that we have the option of planting most stuff outdoors.
However if we get a jump start with seeds indoors, then we can also get a second planting sometimes.
