To get a high-quality tomato harvest at home, it is necessary to plant and grow seedlings of these cultivated plants correctly and in a timely manner. How to do it in 2019?
Tomato seedlings require constant care. Therefore, many gardeners prefer to buy it in the market or in a specialized store. But not always such seedlings can give a good harvest. Therefore, it is preferable to plant tomato seedlings at home on your own.
To do this, you first need to decide on the timing of planting. They are chosen based on the climate, growing conditions and other features. For example, in the southern regions of Russia, the heat comes earlier, so tomato seedlings can be planted at the end of January. But, in the middle lane, cold weather persists until mid-April. Therefore, in this climatic zone, it should be planted in February or early March.
A more specific planting date can always be set using the gardener's lunar calendar.
