Vegetable Seeds for Your
Smoothie Garden
A vegetable is a plant that is eaten whole or in part; often, the
seed is eaten. The seed is also the part of the plant that pro-
duces a whole new vegetable plant. This chapter will provide
you with great advice on how to choose your seeds for your
smoothie veggies, the best ways to start them indoors or out-
doors, and how to care for the seedlings as they grow. You will
also learn how to save money by saving your own seeds for
growing next season.

those terms mean, and why are there ten different varieties of
