In an effort to save money, I plant a lot of my bedding plants from seed instead of buying blooming plants. Does anyone know how long those plants that nurseries sell have been growing? It seems like my seedlings (particularly dianthus, sweet william, and snapdragon) are very straggly that whole first growing season, winter over nicely (we have fairly mild winters), and look great the following spring.
seven or eight weeks at least in ideal light and moisture conditions.

My husband and I just bought our first home and I’m very excited about planting my own flower beds and vegetable garden. I don’t want to do anything extravagent, just basic beginner stuff until i learn more. Unfortunately I’m starting from ground zero with little to no knowledge on gardening and am in desperate need of some good resources.

I will be moving to a place and have no back yard to plant. Right outside my door, I can put a planter and I would like to plant flowers. I would like to have color throughout the year, all 4 seasons. What are good choices in New Jersey?
Try the three P’s – Pansies, Portulaca or Petunias.
