There are five main clues to success with vegetable seeds:

• Form drills that are uniformly deep and at the correct depth for the vegetable being sown. If too deep, the seeds will not germinate; if too shallow, the seedlings will not be properly established.

• Sow seeds evenly and thinly. There is no advantage in sowing seeds thickly (often just to use up a packet).

• Cover seeds to a uniform depth.

• Thin seedlings to ensure the remaining ones are healthy.

• After sowing, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
