We are creating a dream garden in February. Here is what needs to be sown for seedlings now
Winter is not a time to relax for summer residents and gardeners. There is, of course, less work, but there is still some.
For example, the current month, February, is considered the most optimal period for sowing seedlings of some vegetable crops.
If you do this in February, you can get the garden of your dreams, which will delight you with an early and good harvest.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises paying attention to three plants.
We are talking about tomatoes, eggplants and peppers.
The last of these are distinguished by a long growing season, so they can be sown as early as February.
This way we will give them time to develop before we transplant them into open ground or under greenhouse arches.
And eggplants need time to grow well.
By sowing them in February, we provide conditions for the formation of strong seedlings that can be transplanted at the optimal time.
Early varieties of tomatoes are suitable for starting to sow them in February.
If you do this now, you can get the first harvest already at the beginning of summer.
Experienced gardeners advise soaking seeds in a growth stimulator before February sowing to improve germination.
As for the soil, a light, nutritious substrate with good aeration and drainage is recommended.
Crops must be grown in a sufficiently lit room, providing the most optimal temperature for each type of crop.
