Fresh vegetables growing in a raised garden bed
Beginner's guide

Growing vegetables from seed.

Growing vegetables at home is rewarding — and surprisingly easy with the right setup.

Basic steps

  1. 1

    Use a seed-starting soil mix — light, fluffy, and free of garden pests.

  2. 2

    Plant seeds at the correct depth (see the packet — usually 2–3× seed width).

  3. 3

    Keep soil consistently moist, never soggy, while seeds germinate.

  4. 4

    Give seedlings 6–8 hours of sunlight or 12–16 hours under an LED grow light.

  5. 5

    Transplant once seedlings have their first set of true leaves.

  6. 6

    Water consistently — deep, less-frequent waterings beat shallow daily sprinkles.

  7. 7

    Feed with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks once plants are established.

Example: Tomatoes

Germination
5–10 days
Transplant
4–6 weeks
First harvest
60–90 days
  • Needs full sun — 6–8 hours minimum for good fruit set.
  • Support with a stake or cage as the plant grows tall.
  • Pinch out side shoots on vining varieties to focus energy on fruit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I grow vegetables indoors?

Yes — leafy greens, herbs and compact peppers do well indoors. Fruiting vegetables like tomatoes need a lot of light, so an LED grow light really helps.

When should I start seeds?

Most warm-season vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers) are started indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost. Cool-season crops (spinach, lettuce, carrots) can be sown directly outside in early spring or autumn.

How do I stop seedlings getting leggy?

Leggy = not enough light. Move seedlings closer to the window, or use an LED grow light for 12–16 hours a day. A small fan also strengthens their stems.
