urban vegetable patch

I though it is about time to write post on our faourite seed sellers! After showing off all our lush, scrumptious looking vegetables it’s only fair to tell our dear readers where we source our seeds from. These seed sellers offer online purchasing and you can pay via credit card or cheque.

• Diggers
• Eden seeds
• Green Harvest

We are in the process of collecting more seed or seedling growers and we need your help! If you are or knows someone who sells seeds and seedlings (via online or Mail order preferable), contact us today!

Well what can I say, I have been slack!

And now I find that the year is marching on and I am sooooo late putting in this season’s crop of vegetables. So off I trotted to the garden centre and I begrudgingly purchased some seedlings.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not against the planting of seedlings and I find them very convenient and a great way to get a vegetable garden off to a flying start. It’s just I feel that seeds give me better bang for my buck! Even when I factor in the other costs such as seed raising mix, I still feel that seeds give better value. Plus you get to see a mature plant develop from scratch.

But in the “for’s” for seedlings, you only pay for what has sprouted and you don’t need to thin them out, they are just ready and waiting for you to pop into your vegetable patch.

So because I am running so late this year and have only just cleared out my vegie patch, I have decided my plan of attack is to plant some seedlings to get crop 1 started and then some seeds to get the second crop going so that I have a continuous crop of vegies such as cucumbers, lettuce, bok choy and beans…. hope my plan works and if it does it should keep me in vegies for a while…

But  what is your preference? Seeds or seedlings?
