Well to begin with, how do you get things to grow ? I know its sometimes seems well beyond you capabilities and for the first year or two I will admit I used seedlings - from my local garden shop, but there is a point at which you need to take the leap - especially if pocket are feeling shallow.
These are some experiments I've been trying though - so far they have been quite succesfull.
1. Seedlings in a zip-lock bag : I discovered this one quite by accident, simple and easy to do. Especially if all the space you can afford is a windowsill.
you will need :
seeds of your choice.
one seedling try
1 - 6 zip lock bags.
soil or potting medium
1 : one bye a seedling try, cut up into single 'pots' - get some soil or potting medium eitehr will do.
2 : fill the "pots with potting medium till almost full leave about 1 cm bellow rim.
3 : place one or two seed on top of the soil.
4 : cover seed with about 2 mm of soil - or potting medium.
5 : place in zip lock bag ,
6 : pour a little water into the base of the bag.
7 : close and seal leaving a little gap on one end unsealed for breathing.
8 : place on a light but not sunny window sill to start.
9 : allow 7-10 days for germination.
* Note north facing windows are not ideal - as they tend to get to hot. Unless they are shaded in some manner.
