The practice of planting seeds directly into the garden soil, rather than starting them indoors, is a common method in agriculture and horticulture. This technique involves placing seeds in their final growing location outdoors, foregoing the transplanting stage.
This approach offers several advantages, including reduced root disturbance and lower labor costs, particularly for crops that do not transplant well, such as root vegetables like carrots and radishes. Furthermore, it aligns with natural growth cycles, potentially leading to stronger, more resilient plants. Historically, this was the primary method of planting before the advent of modern greenhouse technology.
