With the arrival of spring, the busy season begins for gardeners and vegetable growers. Preparing for the cottage season starts with growing seedlings. Seeds can be sown as early as February and March, ensuring that by the time of planting, the plants are strong and healthy. Let’s explore with Ozon how to effectively organize this process and what products will be useful for it.

What and When to Plant?

First, determine which crops you want to grow. Consider the climate of your region: in temperate zones, it takes about three months from sowing to planting in the ground, while in southern regions, this period is shorter. The first to be sown are peppers, eggplants, and leeks. Next come tomatoes, physalis, and head lettuces. A bit later, you can focus on cucumbers, cabbage, zucchini, and pumpkins. Don’t forget about flowers: asters, snapdragons, phloxes, and other plants will beautify your garden.

Before sowing, prepare the seeds: discard any that are of poor quality, and soak the remaining ones in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for disinfection. Some crops will require pre-germination or stratification.

The soil for seedlings should be light, loose, and fertile. It is best to use a special soil mix, which can be purchased or made at home by mixing topsoil, compost, and sand in equal proportions. Most vegetable seeds should be sown at a depth of 0.5 - 1 centimeter, or, as with berry plants, simply placed on the soil surface. It is important to avoid overcrowding.

Conditions for Seedlings

Plants need suitable conditions for growth:

Light . If natural light is insufficient, use grow lights.
Temperature . The optimal range is +18...+22°C during the day and +14...+16°C at night.
Humidity . There should be no drafts, and plants should be watered with warm water from a spray bottle.

When the seedlings develop 2-3 true leaves, they can be pricked out and transplanted into separate containers. After 7-10 days, start fertilizing with nutrients.
