Vern and his sister Ella were given permission to use one area of their backyard garden to plant a few plants of their own. They want to plant angiosperms that will grow back next year. Which key words should they look for on the seed packets?

The key term Vern and his sister Ella should look for on the seed packets are either "Sowing Indoors"; "Start Indoors"; "Direct Sow"; or "Sowing Outdoors".

These terms help to understand the best time to begin growing the seeds and whether they are outdoor or indoor plants.

If a seed packet has the term "direct sow after danger of frost" it means the seed should be planted outside only (if there is no starting date given).
