The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
Sowing is done in March. If grains from your own vegetables will be used for planting, then you need to sort them out, removing darkened and damaged samples. A nutritious but light substrate is suitable for sowing. You can cook it yourself by mixing peat, humus, black soil and sand in equal proportions. If the level of acidity in the ground is high, then it is recommended to introduce ash - tomatoes do not like acidic soil.
It is allowed to grow seedlings in peat tablets. This is quite simple to do.
Soak the tablets in boiling water to make them swell. Change the water if necessary.
After swelling, remove the material, turn it upside down and leave in this position until the liquid drains.
Dip one seed per 1 cm into each bag using a toothpick.
Put the tablets with the planting material in one container, cover with foil and remove to a warm place.
If the seeds are grown without tablets, then the sowing is done in one box filled with soil. Before planting, the soil is well watered. The seeds are buried 1 cm, the distance between two future seedlings should not be less than 2 cm. Next, the container is covered with a film and removed to a warm place where the temperature is maintained at + 23 ... 26 degrees. Seedling care is as follows.
When the first shoots appear, remove the film and leave the box in a well-lit place.
Water with a syringe or pipette, as water should not get on young shoots. The use of a watering can with a narrow spout is allowed.
When 2-3 leaves hatch, dive the seedlings. Do not forget to place a drainage layer on the bottom of each container.
At this stage, feeding begins. The first fertilization is applied after 10-14 days, the next two supplements are offered at intervals of 2-3 weeks.The last, fourth dressing is added three days before planting on the site.
Start hardening seedlings a couple of weeks before transplanting. Take the pots outside every day, gradually increasing the time you are outdoors.
The transplant is carried out in May.
Growing tomato seedlings is an extremely important process, because it largely depends on whether the gardener will be able to harvest at all. All aspects must be taken into account, from seedbed preparation to planting in the ground.
