Sow Your Seeds

Gardeners know that in order to prepare for the arrival of spring and the planting season to come, they must begin the task of germinating seeds. For many a gardener, the most rewarding part of planting is watching a seed germinate and grow into a healthy plant.

Whether you sow on a sunny windowsill, in your garden shed or a greenhouse, watching Mother Nature's magic is an inspiring and rewarding process. By following a few simple rules when planting, you can increase your chances of producing a healthy and fruitful garden.

Another important factor to consider is the growing medium you will use? There are a variety of soils available on the market, but as a general rule, any soil that is not too heavy, one that is water retentive and is high in nutritional value will suffice.

To make your garden uniquely your own, try planting flowers with vegetables. Try experimenting with different types of soil and planting environments. To capture the true essence of gardening, sow your seeds and watch them grow.
