Direct seeding is a method of planting seeds by placing them directly into the soil, rather than transplanting seedlings. Direct seeding can save the gardener or grower money by cutting down on the growing supplies needed, like trays, flats, pots, soil, and labor. This approach allows plants to establish stronger root systems from the outset, leading to better overall growth and productivity. However, successful direct seeding requires some planning and preparation. You'll have to prepare your garden beds ahead of time, plan which day to seed, and make sure you can water those seeds.
