Seed planting is carried out in pre-prepared pots, inside which there is a peat or other fertile mixture. The seeds are buried 1.5 cm, then lightly sprinkled with earth and watered abundantly, at the end closing the container with transparent material. In this state, the seeds are kept for a couple of weeks, then the shelter is removed, and the seedlings continue to grow for several more weeks, until warm weather is established outside.
