Garden in Jakub: Seeds

As I am new to gardening, I am also new to growing from seeds. I thought it would be easy, but it can be a challenge. I' ve managed to destroy all my seedling of lettuces so far. Which doesn't make me very happy. Process of learning is to make mistakes. So here I am, making lots and lots of mistakes.

My pumpkins and tomatoes are growing well, as well as physalis, at least. And with little help of youtube and google, they will grow into strong plants.

I have order seeds from https://permaseminka.cz/, czech shop, where they cultivate and sell non-hybrid/industrial seeds. That means, once I will harvest my veggies, I should be able to keep the seeds and plant them again next year.

So far I have mostly tomatoes variaties, pumpkins, lettuces, corn, peas, quechua and cucumbers. This year I will be also buying some seedling from shops. Because I will travel to France for almost 3 weeks in May, I will need to fill this gap. And market bought seedlings will make it easier.

Another shop where you can buy seeds in Czech republic: https://www.culinabotanica.cz/kategorie-produktu/seminka/. I have placed my order there for herbs, more pumpkins, beans, carrots, tomatoes and lettuces.

And of course you can buy seeds almost anywhere these days, but just avoid F1 - you cannot use their seeds next year, as it is a hybrid. To know more about F1 seeds, you can read this article:

Of course you can grow some if you feel like it, but it's always good to remember to have a variaty in your garden.
