Once you decide on what kinds of plants you want to plant (also learn about companion planting) you will need to acquire all of the seeds and supplies that you will need to use to get started.

However, it is not necessarily that simple to grow plants from seeds. This article was designed to introduce the reader to a number of the most common mistakes made by people when growing plants from seeds for the first time.

Vegetables that can easily be grow from seeds:

* Beans- Bean plants thrive in warm, moist soil. Bush beans need no support, but pole beans do need to climb something, such as poles, strings, trellises, or tepee

* Beets -Beet roots will develop quickly and uniformly in loose soil, so before planting, work the soil to remove clumps and stones.

* Carrots – It is important to provide well drained and soft soil. Mix in some sand and really loosen it up. Space properly.

* Cucumbers – amend the soil with a fertilizer high in nitrogen and potassium to support large yields.

* Kale – plant in early spring and kale will grow until it gets too hot. Plant again the fall. Kale only gets sweeter in cold weather.

* Lettuce – Lettuce grows slows in shade; it is also slower to go to seed, or “bolt.”

* Peas – To harvest a continuous supply of peas during the summer, simultaneously sow varieties with different maturity dates. Then sow more seeds about 2 weeks later. Continue this pattern

* Pumpkins – rich in compost because they’re greedy eaters. Water often as they drink a lot, too. Plant seeds on a mound and give them plenty of room

* Radishes – radish seeds are natural companions to carrots. Mix radish seeds with carrot seeds before you sow, especially if your soil tends to develop a tough crust. Radish sprouts will push up through the soil, breaking it up for the later sprouting carrots.

* Squash – Like pumpkins, squash and zucchini also like well-composted soil and need plenty of space (3 to 6 feet apart, warm soil, and lots of sun.) Always water at the soil level—not the leaves—to avoid powdery mildew.
