For active air exchange and water permeability, it is important to achieve a loose soil structure. If the soil is heavy loamy, it is also diluted with sawdust, sand, turf.

Before the seedlings emerge, the optimum room temperature is + 26 °. In the future, a suitable temperature will be + 18 °. Seedlings should be transplanted into the greenhouse 30–35 days after germination. In the spring, the acceptable time for planting seedlings in a permanent place is at the end of April - beginning of May.

When planting with seeds, they must be pre-hardened and germinated.First, the seeds are placed for 2 minutes in hot water with a temperature of + 50 °, and then in cold water. After the procedure, they are dried. Then the seeds should germinate. To do this, you need to place them in moistened gauze and put them in a warm place until sprouts appear.

The holes are made at a distance of 30 cm from each other. With a large area, the marking of the holes is done in a ratio of 40X70 cm.When planting, the seeds are immersed in the holes to a depth of 2 cm, the area is covered with plastic wrap on top until shoots appear.
