We’re growing a whole garden from seed.

Minus a few pepper plants we bought because we wanted to support the local high school FFA chapter.

Someone asked my husband should they grow from seed or do starts?

Personally, I don’t care what folks do as long as they are doing something to produce their own food.

Find the thing that works for you and do that!

We grow from seed because it’s what is most cost efficient for us.

I’m constantly learning the best ways to start different vegetable seeds. The small ones will give you a headache.

You can get a ton of plants using seeds for a few dollars vs buying a few starts for twice the cost.

It takes more time and planning to grow from seed, but tbh it’s worth it to not have to spend as much money on plants.

So when someone says, they grew that from seed, just know it’s a lot more involved that just throwing seeds down in a hole.

Here is how to decode a feline companion's subtle physical signals to build a stronger bond and avoid misunderstandings.

1. Watching the specific tilt of the ears reveals much about a cat's current mental state, such as forward-facing ears signaling active curiosity. This observation helps determine if the animal is ready for interaction or needs a quiet moment to focus.

2. Paying attention to the tail's height and movement offers a clear guide to emotional intensity, where a high, vibrating tail suggests excitement or affection. Understanding this distinction helps differentiate between playful energy and mounting frustration.

3. Noticing when a feline blinks slowly or maintains partially closed eyes indicates a profound level of comfort and security. This gesture serves as a silent communication of trust, showing that the cat feels entirely safe in the current environment.

4. Monitoring the posture of the back and the condition of the fur provides a warning of defensive instincts, such as an arched spine indicating a need for protection. Giving space during these times allows the cat to regulate their emotions without feeling cornered.

5. Recognizing that an exposed belly is often a display of trust rather than a request for touch helps preserve the animal's sense of safety. Respecting this physical boundary prevents defensive reactions and reinforces the bond of mutual understanding.

Learning to read these non-verbal cues creates a more peaceful and respectful environment for every household member.
