Planning to expand your kitchen garden by planting vegetables? Here are the best plants you can grow directly from the vegetable seeds.
Tomato
Tomatoes can be grown in your kitchen with the seeds throughout the year. Use well-drained and slightly acidic soil. Make sure to fertilise it regularly.
Okra
You can grow in your kitchen directly from its seed. Since the vegetable thrives in hot and humid weather, the monsoon season would be perfect for sowing the seeds in loamy soil that has good drainage.
Eggplant
You can sow the seeds indoors and after the seedling is strong, you can plant it in a sunny spot with fertile soil.
Cucumber
Cucumber seeds can be directly sown in the garden with well-drained soil. Keep trellising it to keep the fruits off the ground and prevent disease.
Bottle Gourd
Since bottle gourd thrives in hot weather, you can plant its seeds outdoors. Just make sure to water, fertilise, protect from pests, and prune regularly.
