Vegetable Seeds

Vegetable crops are grown not only by farmers, but also by summer residents and large agricultural enterprises.

Vegetable seeds: tips for choosing

A good harvest of vegetables directly depends on the quality of the seeds, which By the way, it's time to take care of it already at the beginning of spring. After all, growing plants is a laborious process that requires special knowledge and skills from the gardener.

For example, sowing seeds directly depends on the variety of vegetable crops. Most often it occurs:

• winter: early greenhouse cucumbers, celery; at the same time it is recommended to sow seeds of pepper and eggplant;
• in spring : white cabbage, as well as cauliflower; tomatoes and sweet peppers; pumpkin, zucchini and squash are sown in April, ground cucumbers, watermelon, melon and potatoes are sown in the middle of the month;
• in late autumn: beets, radishes, carrots.

The way vegetables are grown also plays an important role. Some vegetable crops are grown only through seedlings: pepper, eggplant, tomato, cabbage, zucchini, green onion, cucumber. But the seeds of lettuce, radish, peas, beans, turnips, swedes, beets and carrots should be sown immediately in open ground.

We grow vegetables through seedlings

The main factors affecting the cultivation of healthy seedlings at home are:

• quality planting material - it is better to use seeds with high germination for sowing;
• fertilizing the soil in the form of vitamins;
• corresponding temperature and humidity in the premises;
• timely picking in open ground;
• special care after planting.

Capacities in which the young will ripen vegetable shoots should be spacious enough, retain heat well and be easily transported. Use drainage to keep roots from rotting from overwatering. This way, excess water will drain from the pots into the pan.

As for the soil, it should:

● contain the macro- and microelements necessary to feed the plant;

● be light, have a sufficient number of pores containing air;

● be safe: free of pests, toxins and diseases.

In order for the young shoots of vegetables to grow healthy, the soil level must be at 5 -10 mm below the edge of the pot, and the ground should be moist.

Planting plants in open ground

Planting seedlings, as well as sowing seeds in open ground, is carried out after the end of frost, when the ground warms up well (seeds of some vegetable crops are sown before the first frost). For this, both a garden and any other land plot are suitable. The planting time for each vegetable crop is individual. For example, planting in open ground is carried out:

• for tomatoes and sweet peppers at a soil temperature of at least 15 ºC;
• eggplant - up to 20 ºC ;
• cucumbers - up to 18 ºC;
• celery - 12 ºC, and onions - 10 ºC.

It is recommended to pick or sow seeds closer in the evening or on a cloudy day. After planting, the plant (or the future plant, if seeds were sown) is well watered and the soil is compacted. For a couple of weeks, young shoots are very vulnerable, so regular watering is necessary.
