Magazine Review: Starting From Seed
We have a snow storm looming and I just can't stop thinking about starting my garden. I stumbled upon this magazine this weekend and couldn't resist getting it. Starting From Seed is from the publisher of Fine Gardening and the photos are gorgeous.
I love having a magazine dedicated just to growing from seed. This is my favorite way of starting my garden, though I do like the immediate results of buying plants as well.
The magazine is full of advice, techniques and new ideas. It goes over (in detail, per plant) how to start seeds for annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables and more. Also, how to collect seeds and make seed packets.
I've got my calendar out, diagramming the garden, checking seed catalogs. I'll be cleaning up my nifty little tabletop greenhouse and taking inventory of seed trays. Thinking about heat mats ... Can't wait!!!

I'm with you....I'm ready for winter to be over so I can start planting! I haven't heard of this magazine...thanks for sharing the photos!! I've been wanting to do a garden, so this is great inspiration.
Love the way you've styled these pictures- That green pattern is making the whole thing just pop!
About growing plants from seeds, I've always been a little diffident about that- I'm happy enough when they thrive & maybe even flower under my care. Growing plants is such a beautiful thing to do.
