@compass.acres: I’m not anti seed starting, let me explain 👇🏼 Starting flowers from seed sounds like a budget-friendly idea… until you realize it only saves money if the plants actually grow! When I first got a seed catalog I went BANANAS and just bought everything because I thought I was saving SO much money! Well not only did a lot of those seeds not make it, I had to spend extra money on annuals at the greenhouse so I could have the flowers that didn’t grow 😅 Before diving in, here are three things to think about: 1️⃣ Do you have the right setup? Many seeds need grow lights, heat mats, and plenty of space before they’re ready for the garden. 2️⃣ Are you patient? Some flowers take weeks (or even months!) to sprout, and not all of them will make it to bloom or the hardening off process. 3️⃣ Will it actually save you money? If you only need a few plants, buying seedlings might be the smarter (and easier) option. I have come to learn myself as a gardener, and it turns out, I’m not super patient so I know direct sowing and buying annuals from the greenhouse work best! The seeds I KNOW can withstand my attention span get started and they are marigolds. Seed starting can be super rewarding, but it’s only worth it if you set yourself up for success! 🌿 Have you tried growing flowers from seed?
