In general, plants with large seeds are the simplest to grow from seed, such as peas, beans, maize, squash, melon, and cucumbers. The majority of greens, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, eggplants and Brussels sprouts are among the more challenging crops to grow from microscopic seeds.
Consider spreading seed indoors rather than immediately in a garden bed outside, where birds and many other animals might devour them for tea. Planting seeds indoors, as opposed to direct sowing, ensures that your seeds will be warm and secure.
In contrast to potting soil, seed starting mix includes peat moss or coco coir and occasionally compost. It has excellent drainage, facilitates sprouting, and is sterile, so you shouldn't have to be concerned about fungi. You need to wet your beginning mix with water first, then fill the containers with it.
For information on planting depth and spacing, refer to your seed packet. As a general guideline, if you've lost your seed packet, bury a seed double as deep as it is wide. Once the object has been buried, firmly compact the soil with your palm.
To trap in the moisture and heat required for your seeds to germinate, enclose your seeds in a layer of plastic wrap or the plastic dome cover from your seed starter tray. Generally speaking, it's ideal to keep your container in a warm area that gets indirect sunshine.
Check the starter mix's moisture level every several days or so. Use a watering can only if it seems wet; otherwise, the seeds could be washed away. Instead, either put your container in a bigger tray of water so the mix soaks from underneath, or use a sprayer to spray a coating of mist over the mixture's top.
This entails routinely watering them and maintaining the appropriate temperature range for each seed according to the seed packet. The seed starting medium needs to stay moist without getting too saturated, just like during the germination stage.
It's time to transplant your seedlings to an outside garden bed or pot whenever the conditions are right—typically just after the final frost of the season. If at all feasible, try to transplant while the sky is cloudy..
