Everyone starts somewhere. If you've never grown anything before, this is your 30-day plan to go from zero to your first harvest.
You need three things: pots (12-inch minimum for vegetables, 6-inch for herbs), potting mix (cocopeat + compost + soil in a 1:1:1 ratio), and seeds.
Start with: coriander, methi, and spinach. These three are fast, forgiving, and useful in your kitchen within weeks.
Fill pots with moist potting mix. Sow seeds at the depth mentioned on the packet (usually 1–2x the seed size). Water gently. Place in a spot that gets at least 4 hours of direct sunlight.
Coriander and methi sprout in 5–7 days. Spinach in 7–10 days. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Touch the top inch — if dry, water. If moist, wait.
Too many seedlings compete for nutrients. Remove weaker ones so the remaining plants have 3–4 inches of space. Use scissors, don't pull — pulling disturbs neighboring roots.
Coriander and methi are ready to harvest outer leaves by week 3–4. Snip from the outside, leave the centre growing. Your first home-grown ingredient is ready.
Overwatering kills more plants than underwatering. When in doubt, don't water. And don't move pots constantly — plants stress when their light environment changes.
30 days from now, you'll have fresh herbs in your kitchen and the confidence to grow anything.
