Yes. Seeds naturally want and need to grow, and even a child can grow them. If you purchace seeds by the pack, the 'back page' of each seed packet explains exactly how to grow the seeds inside. If you purchace seeds from a bulk supplier they will tell you what you need to do or furnish directions.

A seed is the mature ovule of a plant. It contains all the genetic material and stored energy within to grow into a plant similar to its parent plants, if growing conditions permit. Seeds are of all different shapes, sizes and colors quite amazing.

Seeds are produced in the ovary of a flower when pollination of the flower has taken place. Plants may produce any number of seeds... from the impatiens, which may produce thousands from just one flower, to the lima bean, which produces just two or three in a pod or gourds that can produce 100 or more per gourd.

No, in fact, only a few seeds need indoor starting - those that are very slow-growing or need a headstart where the season is short. Check your growing season for your area.

To germinate, a seed takes in water and begins to swell, and continues until the tiny plants emerge from the soil and begin to make their own food by photosynthesis. Some hard shell seeds will ned some help. You can help them get started by cliping a end if the seed to quicken the process. This method is almost a must do to grow gourds.

The individual seed packet gives the approximate number of days from planting to emergence (when seedlings appear). For example, bean seeds take about 7 to 10 days to germinate after planting. Very hard shell seeds can take up to 30 days or longer such as gourd seeds.
