Just make bed and plant your vegetable leaves' seed. It needs no nursery.
Add poultry droppings when making the bed.
You can as well apply nitrogen fertilizer after one month of germination.

Ok have never seen one before.
But if you boil any seed it will die. But if the seed requires high temperature to germinate why not plant it in nursery and use nylon to cover the bed opening only the planting spots

My brother u don't need to boil ewedu seed before planting. Ewedu has tiny seeds that germinates in 3 to 4 days after planting.

It comes out naturally and freely unless the soil is dry.

It is called corchorus.It does need to be parboiled before planting.Some people "soak it in warm water" not parboil to destroy every inhibitor that will prevent it from germinating. If you get your seed from a sure source then you don't need to soak in "warm water"
Make your beds,if you have dried poultry droppings or cow dung mix it with the soil then plant your seeds by sprinkling in it on the bed but make sure you mix your seed with a small portion of soil before planting.There are different methods of planting though but the one I just told you is the broadcasting method.After planting,water it immediately then continue wateribg "every morning and evening" till you harvest.regular weeding is important. google for more informations too.

Boil water to lukewarm level,pour the seed in a bowl and pour the water inside the bowl; pour the mixture in a rag to act as sieve leaving the parboiled seed within the rag.
Air dry the wet seed,mix with dry sand afterward and it's ready to be spread on your vegetable bed
