Tips for sowing and care
• Always check the sowing instructions on the packaging — special plants can have very different requirements (soil, light, temperature, plant spacing).
• Store seeds in a dry, cool, dark place to preserve their germination capacity.
• When sowing mixed or rarer varieties, pay attention to watering and nutrient supply, as different plants may require different care.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What plants can I find in the “other seeds” category?
Rare, exotic, or lesser-known plants such as strawberry, Peruvian groundcherry, sweet corn, rhubarb, okra, artichoke, special vegetables, and green manure plants (Garden Doctor).
2. Why is it worth sowing these plants?
Special flavors, varied textures, and rare plants in your garden and on your plate. Green manure plants also improve the soil, making your vegetable garden more fertile.
3. How should I store the seeds?
In a dry, cool, dark place, sealed airtight. Warm and humid environments reduce germination capacity.
4. Is a small space enough for special plants?
Some exotic or climbing plants require more space, while okra, artichoke, or Peruvian groundcherry, for example, can be easily grown in smaller beds, balcony boxes, or terrace pots after planting out.
