Buying plug plants is fine for brassicas and the such like, but I have to say, if you can afford the room, it's great growing your crops from seed. You learn a lot more about a plant when you see it into the world. You save a lot of money too, especially if you buy near-sell-by-date seed stock (car boot sales are a good place to look for this).
There really is something amasing in seeing your seedlings pop up out of the soil; it's one of the greatest perks of gardening.
