Why Grow Your Own Vegetables From Seeds?

There are many rewards that you can enjoy by growing your own vegetables from seeds. Not only are homegrown vegetables generally tastier and healthier than shop-bought veg, but you can also make significant money savings.

When you buy vegetables from a supermarket, important factors like freshness and growing methods are out of your control. With each passing day after harvesting, they're losing their natural flavour, moisture, and nutritional value.

When you grow your own vegetables from seeds, you know exactly how fresh they are and how you've grown them. This gives you access to vegetables that are as delicious and healthy as possible. Plus, as a spin-off bonus, you're working outdoors and topping up your vitamin D levels!

Another huge advantage of growing your own is the money you can save. Depending on the vegetable, the price of a seed packet can be equal or less than the price of a single vegetable in a shop! So, you'll find that growing your own cuts a considerable chunk off your shopping bills.

What To Consider When Choosing Vegetable Seeds?

With so many vegetable seeds available, it's difficult to know what your best options are. Here are a few pointers to help you choose.

• Growing location – There are many different places you can plant your vegetables seeds, including allotments, veg patches, and raised beds. Some vegetables grow better in different locations, so consider your available planting options when choosing your seeds.
• Harvesting time – Do you want to grow your veg to be ready to pick and eat at a certain time of year? Harvesting time is something that varies between vegetables, so make sure you factor this into the seeds you select.
