plug: A small seedling grown in a tray or container, ready for transplanting.
Think of a plug as a baby plant, all cozy in its little individual cell in a tray. It’s like a kindergarten for plants, where they get a good start before moving on to the bigger world of your garden. They’re usually a bit more developed than seeds, so they have a higher chance of success when you plant them outside.
Plugs can be a great way to get a head start on your garden, especially if you live in a place with a short growing season. It’s like getting a cheat code in a video game – you get to skip ahead a few levels and have bigger, stronger plants sooner. Plus, they’re often easier to handle than tiny seeds, which can be a bit fiddly.
When you’re ready to plant your plugs, gently pop them out of their tray and tuck them into the ground. Give them a good watering to help them settle in. And don’t forget to give them some love and attention—they’ll reward you with beautiful blooms or delicious veggies in no time!
