Planting seeds
Planting seeds at the beginning of the year is not carried out for every plant. Gardeners know that in the first place it is necessary to plant vegetables with a long growing season, as well as perennials, in which root crops develop for several months. As for annual flowers, plants with a long growing season are sown at the end of winter, as well as seeds with a long germination period.
Before planting, you need to prepare the ground. It is stored indoors for a couple of days to warm up to the desired temperature. Seeds are treated with an anti-fungal agent.
At the end of winter, seedlings of late tomatoes are made, the growing season of which is about 130 days. Early varieties are sown in February to be further grown in greenhouses. Pepper ripens for about 120 days. Two months after sowing, the first shoots appear. Peppers have a long growing season, so they must be ripe before the onset of cold weather.
Eggplants must be sown two months before planting in the ground, since their growth period takes about 130 days. Shoots hatch from the ground in two weeks if planted in moist soil.
In the last month of winter, leeks are also planted. You need to create optimal thermal conditions, since the onion releases flower arrows if the room is too hot. After two months, the seedlings will be ready for planting. At the end of winter, celery, strawberries and elite potatoes are planted.
As for plants, pansies are planted on seedlings in February, which bloom in early summer. The ideal temperature for these flowers is about +15 °C. This month, petunia is also planted, which after a month is distributed in separate pots, as well as lobelia and begonia.
