Features of growing seedlings at home
Growing seedlings is a very important stage that needs to be given special attention. You can buy ready-made seedlings in the store, but it’s still better to grow them yourself at home.
You need to start sowing the seeds in mid-March (60 - 65 days before planting the seedlings in a permanent place).
Features of sowing tomato seeds:
- First of all, you need to select the seeds. To do this, dilute 1 tsp. salt in a glass of warm water. Pour in planting material. Those seeds that float can be thrown away. Those that remain at the bottom are suitable for planting.
- To increase the percentage of germination of planting material, it can be germinated. To do this, moisten the gauze in a small amount of warm water. Place the seeds in it and wrap it up. Gauze can be placed in a small saucer.Place it in a warm place for several days. After the sprouts appear, the seeds can be planted in the soil.
- The soil for planting material should be prepared in advance. To do this, you can buy a ready-made mixture for vegetable crops. Place drainage (crushed eggshells or small pebbles) at the bottom of the container, and then soil.
- Make small furrows to a depth of 2 cm and plant the seeds. Water by watering method.
- Cover the box with cling film and place in a dark and warm room. Regularly remove the film and water the soil. When the first shoots begin to appear, the boxes must be moved to a sunny place.
- When the seedlings grow up, they can be planted in peat pots.
Before planting in a permanent place, the bushes should be hardened off. Every day, containers with seedlings should be taken out into the open air for 2 hours. Gradually the time can be increased. Hardening is carried out 14 days before planting.
In order for the harvest to be abundant and the bushes not to interfere with each other, the distance between seedlings should be at least 50-60 cm. This is especially important when grown in greenhouse conditions.
Before planting seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse, the soil must be mixed with manure or bird droppings. It is best to choose areas where legumes, herbs, onions, garlic or zucchini previously grew.
When growing tomatoes, it is important to remember that they do not like frequent and abundant watering. If you over-moisten the soil, the tomatoes will crack and the flesh will be watery. Two waterings per week will be enough.
