Grab what you want to grow for the season. When choosing seeds, pick things that sound tasty to you but even more, look for plant descriptions that sound well-suited for your climate and garden.

Next it will be ideal to start seeds in fresh, sterile, bagged seedling starting mix because it will be less heavy and dense like “regular” potting soil.
