Growing your own food is a rewarding, often spiritual experience. The miracle of life is never so close as to watch a seed push it's way out of the soil towards the sun.
Starting your seeds inside means providing the seed with what it would have if it were outside in it's natural habitat. But planting outside now, before the soil has warmed up and with the air still cold, especially at night, would end in failure for many of the crops you may want to have available for that favorite recipe.
However, the cooler temperatures of early spring are perfect for many of the greens and herbs that could dress up your dinner menu this time of year.
It's still a good idea to give your seeds a healthy start indoors where the early spring rains won't wash the seed away or beat the tiny seedlings into the ground.
Watch for an upcoming video that will show you a perfect seeding area and will explain the need for heat and light.
