Recommendations for cultivation
The variety is intended for cultivation in two ways:
- Seedlings are considered the best. The technique allows you to get a harvest 10–14 days earlier than when planting without seedlings. Seeds are planted in specially prepared containers with soil a month before the expected planting day.The optimal soil pH level is 6.7. Care includes organizing temperature and light conditions, watering, loosening and hardening before transplanting into the ground.
- Sowing seed material. Sowing begins when the soil warms up to 15 degrees. The classic time for sowing is mid-May. The optimal air temperature is at least 18 degrees. Before planting, the soil is pre-moistened. Sowing is carried out to a depth of 2–3 centimeters, provided that the distance between the holes is five centimeters. Before emergence of seedlings, the beds are covered with film.
The plant should be planted on a flat or elevated area. The garden bed should receive the maximum amount of sunlight available. Further care recommendations include timely watering, loosening the soil, removing weeds and feeding.
IMPORTANT! At the first signs of damage, it is necessary to treat the bushes with fungicidal agents.
