Some plants like tomatoes are best started indoors in order to get more production by taking advantage of a longer season once transplanted out into the garden. Other crops like beans, squash, and root crops will have plenty of time to mature from seed sown directly into the garden.

Do I have to start them in my home? Or can I just plant my seeds directly in my garden? I usually wait until after Mother's Day to begin any gardening since here in SLC, UT we typically have snow through the end of April and some frosting the first week in May.

I bought soil which I thought to be safe, but found it to contain polyacrylamide, which apparantly this is a nasty neurotoxin when used in soil in the garden. Now I cannot use my vegetable garden for years. This according to the paper by a horticulture university professor from Washington State. They sell these products for flowers. It should be banned, and I am contacting my member of parliament PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME Thanks Eeva Please tell people not to use any soil from garden centre’s without reading the ingredients.
