I did both and each worked with equal vigour.

Sure can. I used a heated seedling tray in the garage, but I'm sure I could have done it in the
house. We had late frosts this year, so I planted the seeds in the garden quite late. Now the
plants are indistinguishable. Growing like Jack's beanstalk! The only thing different in the way I
grow vegetables from the way many others do it is that I mulch extensively: my entire garden is
under mulch - there is nothing growing in bare soil. This is pretty much the paleo way.

Next year I'll let a few run riot. Fortunately I have a largish garden. They are too bushy for a
tomato cage. A trellis might be OK. But I'll grow a few against a single stake.
