Watch this video tutorial to see how to start an organic garden from seeds from Organic Gardening. Planting seeds indoors is easy and fun.

Every gardener—novice or expert—will take great satisfaction in sowing a wee tomato seed inside and then 6 months later standing in the garden among the chest-deep bounty of caged plants and ripening fruit.

Starting your own plants from seeds allows you to grow many interesting varieties—including disease-resistant vegetables and flowers which are especially valuable to organic gardeners—that are not available as bedding plants. Start your own seeds and you can be sure that your plants have been raised organically from first to last. And by sprouting and nursing your own seedlings, you don't have to wait for warm weather to get your hands dirty. Best of all, starting your own seeds is easy and fun.
