Insufficient fertilization or too cold ground can easily diminish all bright hopes.
The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
It is necessary to sow seeds in seedling containers in the last decade of March. This is what the suppliers of planting material insist on. You can transfer seedlings into open ground at the beginning of June - this is the usual time. But it is more correct to check whether the threat of spring frosts has really passed. Sometimes this period passes a little earlier, sometimes a little later, and the climate of the region also plays an important role.
Growing tomato seedlings is an extremely important process, because it largely depends on whether the gardener can harvest at all.All aspects must be taken into account, from seedbed preparation to planting in the ground.
Landing scheme
On 1 "square" of the garden, you can plant 3 such plants. But you can also 4 - if there is a desire to deal with difficulties and complicate care. Everything is at the discretion of the gardeners themselves. A distance of at least 50 cm must be maintained between individual holes.
Growing and caring

Prevention of damage by pests and diseases is carried out according to the standard scheme. It involves the periodic use of agents that suppress disease-causing fungi.
30 days after planting in a permanent place, the lower leaves will need to be removed. Mulching is carried out with sawdust or cut grass. Drying out of the earth is categorically unacceptable, but stagnant moisture also produces negative effects. It is worth emphasizing that during the growing season, organic or mineral fertilizing will have to be applied 3-4 times. It is even better if they alternate in order to satisfy the need for all the necessary substances; feeding is timed to flowering and fruit formation.
A plant needs different micronutrients at each stage of growth. All fertilizers can be divided into two groups: mineral and organic. Folk remedies are often used: iodine, yeast, bird droppings, eggshells.
