Growing features
The seeds are initially prepared for planting. Usually soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, to exclude the occurrence of diseases. Then some use special growth stimulants in which the seeds are soaked overnight. Further, the seeds are usually placed on wet material for pecking.
Seedlings are sown in March-April in a special soil for tomatoes and peppers. Sowing depth - 1 cm, the distance between plants is about 1 cm. Cover with foil for several days to create sufficient moisture. When germinating, open. Watering is infrequent, but abundant. Do not let water get on the leaves, this will destroy the plants.
When 2 full sheets appear, they are seated in separate cups (picking). Pick containers with holes in the bottom. A pick is needed to strengthen the root system and the plant as a whole. When the plant has about 10 full-fledged leaves and its growth is 20-25 cm, it is possible to plant it in open ground or in a greenhouse. Usually on the 50th day after landing. Before planting in the ground, the seedlings are usually hardened, the vents are opened for several hours, or they are taken out into the fresh air.
The soil temperature during planting should be at least 20 degrees. Plants are planted around mid-May. The greenhouse can be planted earlier. For open ground, a special shelter from the cold should be provided. Fragile plants cannot withstand the weather.
Tomatoes are usually planted in a checkerboard pattern, at a distance of about 40 cm from each other. The aisle between the rows should be approximately 70 cm. When planting in a permanent place, holes filled with mineral fertilizer or mullein should be prepared. A few weeks before planting the plants, the soil is dug up with humus and disinfected with copper sulfate. Warm up using shelters. Good precursors for tomatoes are cucumbers, zucchini, carrots. You cannot plant on areas where potatoes grew last year.
