Coriander

You can grow tons of dhaniya in your kitchen garden this March. It gets ready in just 20 to 25 days, so you won't need to buy it from the market! Just fill a pot with well-draining soil, lightly crush the coriander seeds, and sprinkle them. Cover with a thin layer of soil and water it a bit every day. You'll see sprouts in 5-7 days, and get fresh green coriander in 20 to 50 days.

Tomato

The tomato plant is another great choice for March gardening. First, sow the seeds in a small tray. Once they sprout, transfer them to a bigger pot after 10-15 days. Make sure the plant gets 5 to 6 hours of sunlight daily. It will start flowering in 30 to 40 days, and soon you'll have big, red tomatoes. Just remember to water it only three to four times a week.
