Planning your garden can be an all year long ordeal (which is not bad). Along with preparing your space for your new plants, one of the first things you’ll need is seeds. When possible, I like to patronized black owned seed companies who have my needs at heart. What do you plan on growing is uber important in deciding what type of gardening you’ll grow, where it will be placed, and how you’ll grow. We created an article on how to start from seed if you need help, we polled Instagram of course plus our own experience these companies have some of the best varieties of veggies and fruits to choose from (for the best price).
