Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to start a home garden in India?

October–November (start of Rabi season) is ideal for beginners — the cool weather is forgiving and a wide range of vegetables thrive. If starting in summer, begin with heat-tolerant crops like gourds, okra, and herbs.

Can I grow vegetables on a terrace in India?

Yes — terrace gardening is extremely popular and productive across India. Use containers with good drainage, a quality potting mix, and choose varieties suited to container growing. See our full Terrace Gardening Guide.

Which seeds are easiest for beginners?

Radish, Coriander, Methi, Spinach, Cherry Tomatoes, Chillies, and Okra are the easiest for beginners. They germinate quickly, grow fast, and are forgiving of minor mistakes. See our Vegetable Seeds Guide.

What is the difference between heirloom and hybrid seeds?

Heirloom seeds are open-pollinated heritage varieties that breed true and can be saved year after year. Hybrid seeds are bred for uniformity and yield but cannot be saved reliably. Read our full Heirloom Seeds Guide.
