The Joy Of Growing From Seed

The choice to grow from seed, versus buying a plant already started, brings with it some particular attributes.  Let's take a look at these, shall we?
 
First: As we discussed in the second episode of the Healthy Green Thumbs™ campaign, growing from seed allows for a much greater choice in variety of plants.  Take lettuce for example-arugula, butter lettuce, iceberg, and romaine are just some of the varieties we can choose from.  
 
Second:  Will it grow? There is something thrilling about the anticipation of seeing if a seed that has been planted will actually grow.  Ask any seasoned plant grower, and they will tell you that they still find it exhilarating when they go to visit their garden and notice that the seeds that they planted are actually sprouting!  Couple that with the joy of then watching it grow and bloom into a flower, or produce a red, juicy tomato, become a tad tree that produces much needed shade on a hot summer day.
 
Third:  Knowing we are connected to something much greater.  We may prepare the soil, plant the seed, and water it, but experiencing a seed transform into a magnificent plant is a humbling reminder that there is a much greater power supporting all living things. Research shows that those connected with nature, something called nature connectedness, are happier.
