Planting dates with seeds, seedlings and seedlings

The seeds are sown in March. Planting seedlings in the ground - May-June. Seedlings by the time of disembarkation should be 70 days old.

Growing and care

The Mammoth variety ripens in the middle and late periods, so it is best to grow it through seedlings. It is better to sow seeds a little earlier, for example, in early February, under illumination.

Before sowing, the seeds are stratified in the refrigerator for 3 days. Then they are planted in soft, loose soil, placed in a warm place. Shoots appear in 2 weeks.

During planting, a distance of 7-10 cm is maintained between the plants, and 50-60 cm between the rows. For the first time, it will be useful to shade the seedlings.

Leeks are less demanding for watering than onions. Water as needed, making sure that the soil has time to dry out. In the first 3 days after planting seedlings in open ground, you do not need to water. Then watered with warm water 1-2 times a week. For 1 sq.m plantings need 1-1.5 buckets of water.

They are fed once every 4 weeks. Use either a mullein solution (1 liter per 10 liters of water) or bird droppings (0.5 liters per 10 liter bucket of water).

Spud 3-4 times per season. It is very useful to powder the leek stalks with wood ash before hilling. It nourishes and protects against disease and onion flies.

The fact that it is time to start cleaning is signaled by the lodging of the feather. Cleaning is carried out in dry weather. Plants are pulled out of the soil, loose soil allows this easily. The onions are left in the garden to dry out, or they are removed under a canopy for 2 weeks. Then the leaves can be shortened and the roots can be trimmed. Only ripe, beautiful and whole legs are taken for storage, they are placed in boxes with sand or sawdust, and placed in a cool place. Only specimens that are too thin, unripe or damaged are poorly stored.

Since the onion is an unpretentious and cold-resistant plant, it can be planted both in spring and autumn. It is necessary to properly prepare the planting material, competently prepare the garden bed and determine the timing of planting.

To grow a large and tasty onion crop, you need to take good care of it from planting to harvesting. Watering is an important part of outdoor crop care. Thanks to timely watering, the onion will be able to grow normally, form a bulb, and grow greens.

Soil requirements

Leeks love loose, nutritious, well-drained soil. Before planting, the bed is dug up, brought into 1 sq. m half a bucket of well-rotted compost and 1 glass of wood ash. If the soil is dense, add peat and sand.

The bow is not as unpretentious as it seems. For good growth, you need fertile soil, quality care and nutritious fertilizers. Without top dressing, the bulbs will grow small, and the greens will not be lush. At different stages, it should be fed with different substances. The vegetable needs organic and mineral feeding. A good result for fertilizing onions is the use of folk remedies.

Despite the fact that the onion is a very useful plant, capable of repelling and killing many microbes and bacteria, it itself is often damaged and suffers from various misfortunes. Diseases and pests of onions can significantly reduce the yield. It is necessary to correctly determine the presence of this or that disease and take appropriate measures in time.

Review overview

The agricultural technology is simple, leeks are easier to grow than many already familiar garden crops, for example, tomatoes.

It has a delicious, delicious taste. It looks like tender cabbage pulp with a light onion aroma, crispy, juicy, piquant. A great variety for beginners.

To get a good harvest, you should not only properly care for it, but also harvest it at a certain time. You can remove the onion from the garden only after it is fully ripe. Collecting bulbs in the middle lane usually begins in August, closer to the middle of the month.
