Growing features
Seeds are sown for seedlings in the second half of March. With the subsequent transplantation to the greenhouse, you can sow them earlier. The soil is preferable light, consisting of turf, humus and sand. The seeds are pre-soaked in a growth stimulant or freshly squeezed aloe juice, and then sown with a depth of 2 cm. The container is covered with foil from above and placed in heat. After the sprouts appear, the container is exposed to bright light.
In the phase of appearance of 2-3 true leaves, the seedlings dive and fed with full complex fertilizer... Watering is moderate, only warm, settled water is used. The grown seedlings need to be hardened by taking them out into the open air for half an hour, and then leaving them outside for the whole day.

Before planting, the soil is loosened, a small amount of complex fertilizers or wood ash is placed in the holes. The optimal planting scheme is 3 plants per 1 sq. m.
