Great germination is the first step to a great garden. This series of images will give you five key tips to help your seeds sprout successfully.

Tip 1: Don't sow your seeds too deep. A good rule of thumb is to plant a seed about twice its depth. Some tiny seeds even need light to germinate, so always check the packet.

Tip 2: Ensure good soil-to-seed contact. Gently tamping down the soil over your seeds helps maintain humidity and ensures the emerging root can easily find water.

Tip 3: Maintain a reasonable germination temperature. Most of my garden seeds germinate best in a warm environment, which you can easily create on a sunny windowsill.

About Gardening for Beginners

A common mistake? Planting seeds too deep. As a rule, only sow them at twice their diameter. Any deeper, and they won't have the energy to push through the soil. Give them that, proper light, and thoda sa pyaar (a little bit of love), and you will see sprouts in no time.
