    Farm seeds preserved from a previous harvest are a cost-effective and sustainable choice for sowing. Seek guidance from farmers or gardeners to understand the appropriate planting depth, spacing, and care for these seeds. These seeds are often acclimated to local growing conditions, increasing their chances of germination and healthy growth. Using such seeds also supports traditional agricultural practices and promotes biodiversity in the kitchen garden.

    To prepare the soil for planting, debris, rocks, and weeds were removed to create a clean and unobstructed surface. The soil was loosened to improve aeration and water absorption. Organic manure was then added and thoroughly mixed into the top layer to enrich the soil with nutrients. This preparation created a fertile, well-drained, and aerated environment, promoting healthy seed germination, strong root development, and optimal plant growth in the kitchen garden.
