5. Planting your
vegetable garden
5.1 Sowing seeds directly into the ground
There are two ways of sowing seeds,
depending on the size of the seed. The best
planting method is always indicated on the
seed packet.
Sowing directly into the ground
• Sowing the seeds where they will grow.
Usually this method is best for larger seeds
that are easy to handle.
Sowing indirectly into seedbeds
• Best for plants with very small seeds
that are difficult to handle. The seeds are
germinated in a propagator and moved
outdoors later.
