5. Direct seeding
The seeds of vegetables are
directly sowed on the garden plot
or spot. Examples are ampalaya,
bataw, corn, cucumber, okra,
patani, squash, upo, and monggo.
Stem cutting
02.
The mature stem from a healthy
parent stock plant is cut with a sharp
knife and planted directly onto the
ground or garden plot. Examples are
alugbati, cassava, kangkong,
malunggay, and camote.
Transplanting
03.
The seeds of the vegetable are sowed in
a seed box or seedbed. Then, they are
transplanted to a garden plot or in an
open field when the seedlings are about
5 to 8 centimeters tall. They are covered
with banana sheath for a few days.
Examples are cabbage, cauliflower,
eggplant, mustard, pechay, tomato.
Two or more vegetables are planted
together or in between other
vegetables. The method attracts
beneficial insects and keeps away
pests. An example is planting radish
that may repel beetles.

Four methods in vegetable planting – By Marius

10. We can set up a plant nursery, a
plant nursery is where vegetables,
ornamental plants, and fruit
bearing trees are propagated. It is
also used for storing tools and
equipment. In putting up a
nursery, you must consider using
light materials such as bamboo or
nipa for the nursery house, shed,
and greenhouse. The roof is built
in such way that the seedlings are
protected from direct sunlight and
heavy rain. It is also a good source
of income and finally nursery
work, learning skills for
germination and plant
propagation is needed in nursery
work.

11. We need a seedbox or a seedbed, a seedbox or a
seedbed is a container where you sow seeds before
transporting them into a garden plot. The seeds for
planting should be selected from healthy plants. The
best fruits of these plants are good sources of viable
seeds. Segregate the good seeds from the bad seeds by
pouring water into a basin Good seeds sink at the
bottom of the basin, while the poor or bad seeds float
because they are dry and empty. The size of the
seedbed depends upon the needs of the seedlings. Use
a small or medium-sized seedbed if you only have a few
garden plots in your home lot. Prepare a big seed plot
or several big seedbeds if you grow vegetables on a big
scale or commercial basis.
