Planting seeds
Not every plant is planted at the beginning of the year. Gardeners know that the first step is to plant vegetables with a long growing season, as well as perennial plants in which root crops develop for several months. As for annual flowers, plants with a long growing season are sown at the end of winter, as well as seeds with long germination.
Before planting, you need to prepare the ground. It is stored indoors for a couple of days to warm up to the desired temperature. The seeds are treated with an anti-fungus agent.
At the end of winter, seedlings of late tomatoes are made, the growing season of which is about 130 days. Early varieties are sown in February to be grown in greenhouses later. The pepper ripens for about 120 days. Two months after sowing, the first shoots appear. Peppers have a long growing season, so they should ripen before the cold weather sets in.
Eggplants must be sown two months before planting in the ground, since their growing period takes about 130 days. Shoots hatch out of the ground after two weeks if planted in moist soil.
Leeks are also planted in the last month of winter. It is necessary to create optimal heat conditions, as the bow will shoot flower arrows if it is too hot in the room. In two months, the seedlings will be ready for planting. At the end of winter, celery, strawberries and elite potatoes are planted.
