1. in a saucer you need to pour a little soil without lumps by 3-4 centimeters;
2. moisten the soil;
3. marking is made on the ground in the form of a grid with cells of 1-2 centimeters;
4. seeds are laid in the marked lines:
5. they are sprinkled with one centimeter of earth and moistened;
6. the saucers are covered with thick plastic wrap or plastic.

Without picking:

1. the container for germination is filled with soil by 2/3;
2. the earth is slightly moistened;
3. make out a neat hole, place a seed there, which is then watered;
4. the grain is sprinkled with soil and moistened again;
5. so that the soil does not dry out quickly, and the seedlings appear as soon as possible, the pots are covered with foil or plastic bags.

Also, regular pinching greatly affects the yield. Experienced gardeners regularly remove excess leaves. So the plant will spend energy on the formation of fruits, and not on building up green mass.
