Guide - sow in a pot
Fill up the pot with planting soil.
Then water the soil thoroughly.
Spread the seeds from your seed bag in the pot.
Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil.
Then water some more!
Place the pot in a sunny window and make sure to keep the soil slightly moist at all times.
Keep in mind
The size of the pot can vary and some seeds want more space than others.
Herbs generally require smaller pots and are perfect for windowsills. Cucumbers and potted tomatoes can also be grown indoors in pots or on the balcony.
You can also grow summer flowers such as zinnias, cosmos and sweet peas in pots. Choose a fairly large pot, then it thrives best, although these sorts can also manage in smaller areas. 2-3 plants in a large pot are usually enough to get a good result.
