Which option will you use this year? START SEEDS INDOORS: In late winter, plant seeds in grow trays to prep seedlings for spring planting. This allows for growing a wider variety of plants, some of which cannot easily be started from seed directly in the garden. Purchase seeds from box stores, nurseries or online. There is a learning curve to starting seeds indoors and it does take specialized equipment such as seedling trays and grow lights. DIRECT SOW IN GARDEN: A cost effective way to grow a garden.

Our house has flower beds on all four sides, which I love. I’ve always wanted to do something a little different in this spot by the back door rather than planting directly in the ground. And after 7 years of dreaming, I finally bit the bullet and purchased the corten steel planters I knew would be perfect for this spot. Of course I forgot to get a true “before” photo. This spot was empty with only mulch. This is how the planters arrived. They were very easy to assemble. I was able to put one together by myself before help arrived to finish the rest. Here they are assembled. NOTE: If you ever put together a steel planter of your own, do NOT break into smaller pieces and/or throw away the styrofoam packing in the box like we did.
