Absolutely! You can successfully grow plants from seed directly in urban planter boxes. This method offers a wider variety of plant choices, is more cost-effective, and can be deeply rewarding. However, it requires more time, consistent care during germination, and favorable weather conditions. Starting with purchased seedlings provides a significant head start, reduces initial failure risk, and is ideal for impatient gardeners or shorter growing seasons. For beginners, a hybrid approach often works best: use seedlings for herbs and leafy greens like lettuce for quick results, while sowing seeds directly for hardy, fast-growing plants like radishes, beans, or marigolds that thrive with minimal transplant disturbance. The key to success with seeds is using high-quality potting mix, ensuring adequate sunlight, and maintaining consistent moisture without overwatering. Ultimately, your choice depends on your patience, season, and specific plant needs. Many urban gardeners enjoy mixing both methods for a continuous and diverse planter box harvest.
