With these simple steps, you can grow all your favorite plants, flowers and vegetables in a beautiful garden at home. Choose seeds that don’t require too much work, like lettuce, sunflowers or cilantro.
First, prepare your soil in a proper container — a special one for seedlings will help keep the right moisture levels. After inserting the seeds into the dampened soil at the right depth (according to the instructions on the package), lightly water them. Put the container in a place that allows them the suggested amount of sunlight, and don’t forget to water them regularly. If your home is cool, you may want to create a warmer environment by putting a plastic bag over the top of the container.
With any luck, in a week or so you may see a little green to signal the beginnings of a real plant! |
