How to choose good seeds and seedlings for growing vegetables on the balcony

Learn to distinguish good seedlings

There are two types of vegetable growing: growing from seeds and growing from seedlings. It is convenient and easy to cultivate from seedlings, but if you cultivate from seeds, you will experience the excitement and joy of seeing green sprouts breaking through the soil. The quality of seeds and seedlings determines the quality of the harvest. Start cultivating your eyesight now!

The key to choosing seeds

It's hard to tell just by looking at the seeds, but you can look at the markings on the packaging. The packaging also states the planting period, and you should choose seeds suitable for your climate.

Where to buy seeds

Seeds placed outside are easily exposed to wind and sun, which is not good for the seeds. You should avoid buying seeds in such places. You should go to a regular company or look at the products. Regular products will have the germination rate and expiration date marked on them.

How to store seeds

Sometimes when you buy flower seeds and cannot plant all of them at once, you can save them and continue planting next year. You can put the seeds together with raw desiccant in a plastic bag, seal it, and then store it in the refrigerator. Just pay attention to the expiration date of the seeds and try to use them up within the expiration date.
