When planting seeds give them a little boost by planting them the way they grow naturally. Seeds only have enough energy in them to to sprout and get to the surface and put off their cotyledons leaves. By making sure our seeds are planted at the right depth and pointing them in the right direction it allows them to germinate easier.

Planting perennials in your garden is a good way to have fresh fruits and vegetables every year with very little work. Even if you aren't staying where you are long you can look at it as a gift to the future. This time of year you see a lot of places selling bare root plants for perennials so if you don't have the patience, like me, you can get a harvest first year they are planted. Just make sure you are looking at the zones on the plants you buy, they need to be rated for your zone or lower or they will die off when your winters get too cold for them.
