Sowing, or planting, is the process of placing seeds into the soil to grow plants. This can be done in gardens, fields, or pots, depending on the type of plant. Proper sowing involves choosing the right time, depth, and spacing for the seeds to ensure they have enough room and resources to grow. Different methods of sowing include direct sowing, where seeds are planted directly into the ground, and indoor sowing, where seeds are started in containers before being transplanted. Factors like soil quality, moisture, and temperature play a crucial role in the success of the sowing process, impacting the growth of plants like vegetables and flowers.
