Gardening has become a popular hobby among gardening enthusiasts. The thought of growing food at home entices many people. However, many prefer growing these foods using seeds. One can watch the seeds sprout growing into herbs and vegetables. So, start growing plants right ahead of the growing seasons by planting organic seeds online in India today.

What type of vegetables can one grow using seeds?

Leading plant nurseries online like Ratanshi Agro-Hortitech provide high-quality organic seeds for growing:

  • Vegetables using hybrid drumstick seeds or palak seeds
  • Perennials
  • Annuals

 

Benefits of using seeds for growing plants v/s using saplings

 

  • Seeds are economical.
  • One can start planting early for plants like peppers and tomatoes as they require more time to mature.
  • Few heirlooms and unusual varieties are only possible to grow using seeds.

After establishing the benefits and uses of organic seeds for plants, experts at Ratanshi-Agro Hortitech explain how to grow vegetables and flowers using quality seeds.

Step 1: start with a few seeds

The wide varieties of seeds available at a plant nursery in Byculla can overwhelm a novice gardener. Hence, one must start small, plant just one or two seeds, and then experiment with more. Select plants like basil or marigold as one can grow them easily.

Step 2: Purchase high-quality seeds

First, decide on the kind of garden you want. Would you like to grow vegetables, have a garden lined with flower beds, or would you like to grow your favorite fruits? 

 

You can find a plethora of options at a plant nursery in Mumbai supplying organic seeds online in Mumbai. Ratanshi Agro-Hortitech specializes in organic seeds suitable for the Indian climate.

 

Step 3: Learn about the kind of soil, manure, and light

Spend some time learning about each seed, the kind of soil they grow in, and the season they thrive. There are some things that plants depend on, like the right kind of soil, light, and so on. 

 

Step 4: Spend time in planning

Consider the areas in your garden that receive more light and the shadier parts. This can give you a fair idea of which plant to plant and where. 

 

Step 5: Understand the right time to plant seeds

 

It is essential to know the growing times of different plants as per your region. A seeds packet can help determine the right time to plant your seeds inside and later transfer them to your garden outside. One can also calculate the planting time depending on the season. There are multiple guides out there to help you understand these aspects. However, if you are still unsure, you can always consult experts at an online nursery in Mumbai.

 

Step 6: Check instructions

Each plant requires different needs to flourish. Don’t forget to read what’s on the seed packets. These packets can be a great source of information for you offering information about the right time to sow seeds, their depth, germination days, and transplanting and fertilizing needs.

 

  • For instance, some seeds need to be pre-soaked, some chilled, and some nicked before sowing. 
  • Few seeds require thin soil layer covering, while few require being exposed. Moreover, some seeds require darkness for germination.
  • It is also essential to understand their germination times.

 

Additional tips

 

  • Keep notes

Although it seems necessary, having a journal to track growing time can be great for your garden. Keep notes on plant varieties, time, date, fertilizing gaps, germination times, etc.

 

  • Keep the unused seeds safe

One requires a few seeds to plant one plant. Hence, you can store unused seeds in a dry and cool place using paper bags. Online plant nursery like Ratanshi-Agro Hortitech offers seeds in quality paper packaging, ensuring they last longer when stored.
