I Planted Seeds and Just Stared at the Soil… So How Long ‘Til They Sprout?

Hey Steemit!

Okay, real talk — I recently got this plant parent itch and started throwing seeds into pots like I was born to garden. But then... I stared. For days. Nothing happened. Just dirt.
Cue the "am I doing this wrong?" anxiety.

So I did what every Gen Z gardener does: Googled obsessively until I found this gem of an article on gradina.space. And let me tell you, it actually answered my exact question — how long until seeds sprout?

Turns out, it's not instant. Shocking, I know. Most seeds take anywhere from 3 to 21 days, depending on stuff like:

What type of seed it is

Temperature (yeah, seeds have a comfort zone too)

Moisture levels (don’t drown them tho)

Light (some love the sun, some are shy)

Even how old the seed is (grandpa seeds might be slower)

The article breaks it all down in a super beginner-friendly way. Plus it explains what’s actually happening inside the seed (think: seed goes Super Saiyan, breaks open, and sends out roots and shoots — biology-style).

If you're just getting into gardening or just curious why your basil seeds are ghosting you — go read it.

Honestly, gradina.space has been kinda my go-to for chill, no-BS gardening content. It’s bilingual too (BG + EN), so you can share it with your baba or your non-Bulgarian friends.

Anyone else here doing seed starters? What are you growing this season?
