Seeds or plants?

Seeds - are less expensive but take more time and effort. They are best started in peat pots inside. I like to use these seeds:

1. For summer - sunflower, sweet pea flowers (planted in Oct for spring flowers).
2. For winter - radishes, arugula, carrots, beets.

Plants - good quality plants from nurseries do well.

  2. Yes, they do well, and it is harder to find carrot plants. The trick, that I dont do well, is to be sure the soil is very loose with mulch and doesnt get packed down so it isnt too hard for the carrot to grow downwards.
