Attempting to grow from seeds
Posted: September 19th, 2013, 2:53 pm
AOA,
I am fairly new at gardening and a few months back i decided to have a container kitchen garden plus a few flowers in my patio. But i went for growing from seeds as i wanted to have everything done from scratch. Thanks to the experienced gardeners in this forum i was able to plant seeds of a few of the plants i wanted for my garden and was able to germinate them and for a few i was very unsuccuessful. I have now shifted the plants from thier nursery pots to the more permanent pots and as i had read on the seed packets that for some of the plants such as Celosia (flower), Balsam (flower), okra, and cherry tomatoes should be sown at some distances (prefferably 12 inches apart). Therefore i put one plant in one single pot. But they dont look much. Do you think that they will grow up and be big and healthy as seen in the pics uploaded by other members and in the garden centers and nurseries. I am unable to upload the pictures even using the photobucket. please help me with that. Waiting for your advice on the subject.
