How to Plant From Seed step by step

 

• Step 1: Preparation. You will need multi-purpose compost

• Step 2: You will need seeds. We used a Sweet Pea variety. Remember to read the instructions on the back of the seed packet. This will tell you when is best to plant and if the plants prefer to grow in the sun or shade.

• Step 3: Organise the seeds into groups. We used 3 per pot.  

• Step 4: Get your plant pots ready.

• Step 5: Sift the compost if you have a sieve. 

• Step 6: Or use your hands to break up any lumps in the soil and remove any stones. 

• Step 7: Fill the pots with compost.

• Step 8: Water well.  

•  Step 9: Use your finger to make 3 holes in each pot, about 10cm deep.

• Step 10: Place one seed in each hole and cover loosely with soil. Depending on the type of seed (refer to the packet instructions), and place in a sunny/shady spot.
