The key to know is how long it will take for each of these different plants to flower after it germinates.

Sowing Seeds Can be Tricky

When considering direct sowing seeds, it’s also great to know how far a part each seed needs to be sown from each other or other plants and how deep to sow that seed, otherwise your seeds might not grow as healthy or at all.

That’s why using an accurate seed sowing tool, like the Little Dibby and the Dibby XL, is so important for high seed germination and more!

Consistently sown your seeds with confidence and later transplant your seedlings easily with the Little Dibby or the Dibby XL. Each tool has many uses and this is why we invented our dual-purpose tool.

Check either of our seed sowing and transplanting tools on our Etsy shop, Shopify shop, Google Shopping, and coming to Amazon soon!
