Prepare the soil by mixing in organic manure or compost before sowing the seeds, ensuring all frost has passed. Check the soil for any weeds or insects. To avoid losing any seeds while opening the packet, do so over a white sheet of paper, as some seeds may be small and hard to see. After preparing the soil, sprinkle the seeds evenly and lightly cover them with soil or press gently with your hand.During the first week, water carefully using a sprinkler or your hands, avoiding the use of a pipe or mug, as the force of the water could damage the germination process. Germination typically takes between 10 to 18 days, depending on the variety.For herbs or small seed varieties, it's essential to cover the sowing area with transparent plastic in the evening to promote faster germination. All plants, including flowers, tomatoes, chilies, peppers, and brinjal, should be transplanted once they reach 3-4 inches in height. These varieties require minimal water and need at least 2-3 hours of sunlight daily, while winter varieties can thrive with 1-2 hours of sunlight for germination.
