How long does it take for a seed to become a plant?
Some are quick to germinate, taking 1-2 weeks at most, such as chillies, beans, sunflowers and pumpkins. Some seeds take more like 2-4 weeks, such as mango and parsley. Others, depending on how warm/cold it is, take closer to 2 months, for example avocado. Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) Soak: Salted water, overnight Dehydrate: 12 -24 hours, typically i find 12 hours to be enough. Sunflower seeds As with pumpkin seeds though typically I find they are well and truly ready within 12 hours.
