One of the best seeds to sow in March for a beautiful garden in May is mint. It grows quickly and spreads well, and the beautiful aroma it gives the garden is a dream. And by May you will have a good supply of mint leaves for mojitos, chhaachh, and more.

Another seed to sow during March is Zinnia. Zinnia flowers are super bright and pretty when they bloom, and their colours of red, blue, yellow, and more are simply beautiful across gardens.

Aster has one of the best daisy-like blooms, and the pastel colour of these flowers will beautify any balcony or home garden. If you sow Aster seeds now, within a month or 40-50 days you will see amazing blooms.

Dhaniya, or coriander, is another herb that is a must-have for Indian kitchens. And all you need to do is crush the coriander seeds a little and then spread them across the soil and wait for 20-40 days for the leaves to grow.

Although a little hard to grow, Marigold seeds, if sowed at the right time and cared for, will start producing flowers, or at least tall leaves, within a month and a half. And over time, the bright and big yellow blooms will adorn the garden.

Basil leaves, not to be confused with Tulsi leaves, are a part of cooking and have a very soft aroma and flavour. Basil, too, can be grown within a month or two and can be harvested for everyday cooking or just for the looks.

Cherry tomatoes can be grown in about 50-70 days, and if you sow the seeds immediately, by mid-May, your garden will burst with small tomatoes ready for harvesting.

The beautiful white and purple flowers of Aparajita are a blessing and delight to see. Also called Blue pea flower, Aparajita flowers will start blooming a little late, but as they climb onto the railings, it will be a beauty to look at.

Microgreens from Chia seeds can be grown and harvested quicker than many other plants. Just sow the chia seeds in soil, sprinkle them around, and keep watering the pot every day to encourage the leaves.

Oregano seeds are available abundantly in nurseries and online, and the leaves can be added to soups, pizza, or even Pasta dishes. And as oregano grows well in warm weather, March to June would be the perfect time for sowing and harvesting.
