Growing plants from Seeds is an art and it also has certain charm enclosed in this myth.However,there are certain factors which can influence on seed germination including seed quality,seed storage,sowing season,water content,soil condition,heat and light.
I always preferred growing seasonal herbs from seeds.I also preferred to collect seeds from healthy vegetables instead of store baught seeds.
Soil media prepared by me consists of combination of organic fertilizer made up of leafs or dead decaying plants remnants and coco peat in a ratio of 20:80.Here i shall not only discuss success i got during seeding but also some failures so that you may beware of these misfortunes.

Here is picture of spinach seeds i added in partly moistened soil and covered with coco peat and placed in partial shadow.
I got little seedlings within seven days which were young and healthy enough demonstrating the wellness of seeding procedure.
After 2 weeks the seedlings were strong enough to be transplanted to a newer bigger pot,so i shifted them carefully to a 10 inch pot whose soil was also well nourished.
A problem was observed next day of transplantation,2 plants were with tared edges which was indication of birds attack.
So,i concluded that young plants be protected from birds attack as they are prone to them.
5 days after transplantion i observed that leaves of cocumber plants were turning yellow,i added sufficient neutrirnts as i was assuming that soil was depleting its nutrients.
Inspite of redemial actions for preventing birds attack and depleted nutrients supply,plants were turning yellow day by day and one after another.
I placed water containing plastic tray underneath the pot so that it may not get dry due to high sunlight.I also inserted bamboo sticks to make of barrier to birds attack.
Yellowness was due to high heat of summer sunlight which was not fit for young plants.
It is therefore recommended to place yong seedling in partial sunlight or partial shadow before plants get mature enough to be placed in full sunlight.
