About The Seed Row
A plain-spoken guide to growing your own vegetables for people who've never kept a plant alive past July. We cover the short list of tools and supplies you actually need, how to build and fill a raised bed (or start in pots on a balcony), how to read your sunlight and soil, when to sow each crop and how far apart to space it, the watering and feeding rhythm that keeps plants producing, what's eating your tomatoes and how to stop it, and how to harvest and store what you grow — so you go from a bare patch of yard to dinner off your own beds.
The Seed Row is an independent resource focused on vegetable gardening, raised beds, and growing your own food for beginners. We publish practical, carefully researched guides for readers who want clear answers without the fluff — whether you are just getting started or looking to sharpen what you already know.
What we do
Every article is written and edited to be genuinely useful: accurate, easy to follow, and grounded in real-world experience. We cover topics across Getting Started, Raised Beds & Soil, Growing Vegetables, Planting & Care, Pests & Diseases, Harvest & Storage and update our guides as best practices evolve. We are not affiliated with any of the brands, products, or organizations we may reference; mentions are for the reader's benefit, not an endorsement.
Who writes The Seed Row
The Seed Row is written by Hazel Dunmore. Hazel grows vegetables in raised beds through unpredictable springs and writes garden guides grounded in what survived, not just what the seed packet promised.
