Biennial seeds will develop and produce plants the first year they are planted; however, they'll no longer stay for more than a year. After you've identified the type of seed, you will need to fill a planting box with the seeds. Make sure the planting box is large enough so that the seeds can develop and spread. You may also add a little water to the planting field to help the seeds germinate. After the seeds have germinated, you'll want to provide them with mild temperatures and humidity. You may locate the planting box in a sunny spot or in an area that has a high humidity level. In case you do not have right of entry to a sunny spot or a high humidity stage, you can region the planting box in a fab region. Once the seeds have germinated and grown, you may want to transplant them into a garden. You may transplant the seeds right into a lawn by moving the planting box to the ground.

Once you've chosen your garden area, you will want to prepare the soil. To do this, you will want to add natural matter to the soil (such as compost or shredded leaves), after which you will want to tamp it down. You could also add a layer of gravel or sand to the bottom of the lawn to assist drainage. Once the soil is prepared, you'll want to plant your seeds. You may plant your seeds at once into the soil, or you can begin them in a pot and then transplant them into the lawn later. You could additionally purchase premade starter kits for vegetable gardening, which would consist of seeds, soil, and instructions. Once your seeds have germinated, you may want to water them frequently. You may water them using a water hose or a watering can with a garden hose attachment. As soon as your flowers have grown tall enough to cover the soil with their leaves, you'll want to begin weeding them. You may try this by hand, with the use of a hoe, or with an irrigation gadget. Once the weeds have been removed, you can begin harvesting your vegetables. You can harvest your vegetables either while they are young (which includes lettuce or spinach) or when they're extra-mature (which includes tomatoes or corn).
