This may be a bit basic for most people here, but it is rare to hear sound good advice about the basics, (some a little questionable as always ) and if anyone is starting out this could save you a lot of pain.

I wouldn't buy root crops from a garden center but I always start my beets and turnips in cell packs with great success . It gives you the jump on weeds and seed eating critters . The same with lettuce .

Objection! I have a 1'x3' planter for growing salad lettuce. I purchased 2 6-paks and planted into organic soil mix in the planter, forming a nice quick-growing blanket of leaf lettuce. I snip 1/2 the lot at a time, refrigerate in a ziplock bag, gives me about 3 dinner salads. Then the next 1/2 has fully regrown, ready to snip, a wonderful system for not buying salad greens all summer!

Like I say, some questionable. Experienced gardeners can often get away with things that a beginer would strugle with, but you have to play safe until you really know your onions, as it were.

Watching the video, I saw his basic point as seeds being the far more economical and less risky way to go for most annual food crops. You still would have spent less and reaped more farom seeds. If the convenience was worth it to you, then great.
