Find out how to successfully start your garden from seeds.  Whether for economic, health or environmental reasons, an increasing number of Americans are taking a much more active role in producing their own food.  One of the most direct ways of pursuing this goal is growing a vegetable garden in your yard or a community garden.  Once the decision is made to grow a garden, the next step is to decide how to provide the plants for your garden, to buy them or grow them from seed.  This can be a fascinating process that not only saves you money, but also allows you a much greater variety of vegetables from which to choose.  And surprisingly, it's not really that difficult to produce healthy seedlings that will thrive in your garden.
