There are advantages and disadvantages to both sides and I wanted to hear what kind of consensus this forum came to. I'm going to guess that due to the nature of this forum the results are likely going to be largely in favour of starting from seeds.
Starting from seeds takes more time but can save you a bunch of money in the long run. Save the seeds from the previous year and use them for your garden in the next year and it saves you even more.
Buying the plants pre-started from the nursery saves you time and effort in starting them youself from seed, but you end up paying the price (literally) for these plants. Some find that the prestarted variety transplant in their garden better than ones they have started themselves and end up growing better in the longrun.
What do you usually do when the garden season comes around? What are some more advantages / disadvantages to each of these options?
