Question

Plants benefit by seed _

Answer 1

Growing plants from seeds at home can also give you more control over the plants health and longevity. Starting the seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the average date of the last killing frost (depending on variety and where you live, check the seed label) can extend the blooming or production time. It is also a certain cure for the seasonal cabin fever that afflicts gardeners about that time each year. When danger of frost has passed, harden off the plants over time to acclimate them to the outdoors and transplant them into the ground at the optimal time to avoid leggy or root bound specimens that you sometimes find at retail nurseries.
