Garden Addicted
I start all my own vegetables. I try to do my own flowers, too, but sometimes I just pick a few up at a greenhouse instead.
I started my peppers 2 weeks ago. You need a good sized plant in order to get a good crop. The small sets that are sold would never be large enough to get a decent crop in my zone. 6.In the past I have been buying pepper plants, but I am going to attempt to start my own this year.
I sometimes buy herb starts, and wave petunias. Some other bedding flowers I buy plants of, also. Don't have room to grow everything from seed.
I do grow tomatoes, cabbage, cukes, broccoli, beans, melons from seed.
Usually, I let myself splurge a little at the garden center on a few non-essentials, just for the heck of it. Retail therapy.
