Vegetable seeds are usually sown in the early months of the year for harvesting in the summer months. This process of sowing, nurturing, harvesting and then eating your homegrown produce is gratifying and undeniably tastier than shop-bought goods. 

Furthermore, growing your veg from seed is much more economical. You can control the nutrients and planting medium you use to produce the vegetables, which will eventually end up on your table. Rather than buying vegetables or plants from supermarkets, whose growers often use hormones, pesticides and other toxic ingredients to produce the enormous vegetables for the super's display, you can know exactly what feeds your vegetables. Growing vegetables is a labour of love that does prove bountiful if the time and care are given.
