If you want to start a garden, and have difficulty finding seeds. Don’t sweat. Just head to your kitchen. You will only see seeds.. Once you start gardening, they way you see things changes. Everytime I head to the grocery store, I see seeds..only seeds. Go to the pulses section. Black bean, Double bean, green grams, peas.. All these are viable seeds. Your kitchen is no less.

Hi GG,
An informative post as usual, after a very long time.
But GG, mint?!!
Can it be grown from seed and what are the seeds?
Would love to try if possible

Hi Chitra,
Mint is actually from cuttings. I added those since they are part of the kitchen and can be used for planting. You are right. we don’t have the seeds in the kitchen… 🙂
What a great list, some of these would be very nice to have, thank you for sharing!
