How to save money this spring by planting your own seeds.

Ever wondered how to save on spring annuals, perennials and of course vegetables?
Well, the solution is quite simple.Plant your own seeds.Most garden centers, and home improvement centers are now selling greenhouse kits with seeds. All you really need to know is when and how to plant , which in most cases are provided by instructions.One thing you need to remember is, not too soon.For example, I am planting Zinnia seeds which take 5 to 10 days to germinate and 35 to 60 days to bloom. You don't want to start your seeds too early because once they are ready to placed or hardened off you may have more potential of freezing weather ahead
On these seeds, Zinnias,I need to plant inside about 4 weeks before last frost.Meaning, I should plant in pea pots about the first of April because generally the last frost date in Greensboro triad is about April 27 Th.The average annual 6 pack is about $1.79 or more.I paid $2.00 dollars for a pack of seeds that should yield about 10 times that.I know it takes time and patience,but if you are a true plant lover or gardener you will love the experience of nursing your own plants and watching the fruits of your labor.
