Starting vegetable plants from seed can be beneficial for a number of reasons.  It also can require more time and effort than simply purchasing transplants.  The good news is that it’s not an all-or-none, one size fits all option.  You can absolutely design a hybrid plan where you start some crops from seed and purchase transplants of others based on your unique wants, needs, and motivations.  You can also change or expand your plan year after year while you learn as you go.
