Preparation of seedling at home.

Few people have an inspection on the plot, But almost everyone can produce vegetable seedlings at home. The condition is to have windows with a southern exhibition, south -western or southern -east. Seedling can only develop with good light access, otherwise the seedlings are fragile, blade, excessively excessive and easily succumbing to diseases. Due to the small amount of space on the window sills, which we particularly care about.

Bog substrates are the best and most convenient seed for sowing seeds. When not Mar, we have to prepare the Earth ourselves (See the land to inspections), which should be humus, Light and plump with the addition of sand.

Seeds are seasoned and sown into the box-boxes, in which the surface of the earth should be Fr. 1,5 cm lower than the sides, leveled and slightly kneaded at the edges. Seeds are better to sow a viewowner than a row, because they have more space then. We sow quite rarely, especially lettuce and kohlrabi, Because we don't have to quiet them, just blow out directly from the boxes.

Artichokes, Cardinal and New Zealand spinach we sow into pots for 2-3 seeds. We also sow cucumber seeds into the pots, zucchin, pasta pumpkin and pattison. As pots, we use kefir containers, yogurt and cream, And also all other cups and plastic packaging. A few holes need to be made at the bottom of the containers.

In the first half of March we are sowing: early butter lettuce, fragile lettuce, Roman lettuce, kalarepę, root and leaf celery, kardy, artichokes, pepper, Oberżyna and New Zealand spinach.

We sow in the second half of March: High varieties of tomatoes, Medium -early varieties of butter lettuce, fragile lettuce.

At the beginning of April, we sow: dwarf varieties of tomatoes, and in the second half: cucumbers, zucchini, Pattisony and pasta pumpkin.

After sowing, the seeds are carefully watered, We cover with glass or foil, so that the soil does not dry out and put boxes or pots warm. They can stand in a dark place to the emergence, Then we transfer them to the window sill and remove the covers. We water very carefully, Only as needed. We try to set the boxes like that, so that individual species have an appropriate temperature (tomatoes, Paprika and Oberżyna: 25° C at East, and sweat 18-20 ° C, cucumbers, zucchini and pattisons. 25°C, Then over 20 ° C, Selery, lettuce: 20°C, Then 12-14 ° C).

When the plants already have the beginning of the leaves, We quiet them from boxes or pots, or to another box - very rare, Due to the lack of light in the apartment. We cover the plants with soil to the leaf and water profusely. After two weeks, when they accept and begin to grow, We supply them with a 0.5 % azofoska solution or other gardening fertilizer. Na 1 A week before blowing up, we start hardening the seedling by wider opening of windows and reducing watering.

During the day we can put boxes to the balcony. Just before blowing up the seedling, we water abundantly.

When blowing up, we cut the plastic container and remove the entire undamaged body of the soil. You can also quiet vegetables for peat-green pots. Then we plant the seedling together with the pots.
