No Fuss Seeds: 10 Seeds That Love To Be Directly Sowed

Is everyone as busy as I am in the garden? I did a lot of prep work in Fall ^[1] and I still find myself hoping I have enough time to get all of my seeds in. But the soil is starting to warm up and there are seeds that love to be directly sowed.

What I like about directly sowing seeds is it’s a no fuss method to getting your garden started. As long as the soil is warm and moist, seeds can be sown and it will germinate quickly. Mid-spring to early summer (April-June) is the best time for to get your seeds in the ground. The secret to success is to prepare a good seedbed, free of weeds and with a loose soil.

These are 10 of the best seeds that love to be directly sowed.
