Fans of fresh vegetables and fruits from their own beds begin to struggle for the harvest at a time when the snow is still on the street and frosts are standing. But how nice it is to go out into the garden and break your cucumber, greens or tomato for salad in the summer.

How to plant tomatoes in order to get a good harvest? This question torments gardeners every year. After all, as if it did not seem to be from the outside, planting is a very important activity and numerous factors can affect the growth of seedlings and subsequent fruiting. After all, even experienced gardeners have misses, and seedlings do not grow, so what then to talk about beginners in gardening. Let's understand how to plant tomatoes correctly.

We start our work with harvesting the land and buying seeds. Seeds should be purchased in such a way that the fructification of plants is as long as possible. It is best to take several different varieties, in which the maturation period differs, different in size fruits, self-pollinated and bee-dusted. We do this in order to have a harvest, regardless of various factors.

We buy special earth. A large selection of earth mixture for vegetables and specifically for tomatoes can be found in any garden store or large supermarket. Of course, you can harvest and garden land, but the purchase of seed for seedlings - the best option, because it has already made all the necessary mineral fertilizers and added peat.

How to plant tomatoes in the home? Now you need to pick up the container. For the period of growth of the seedlings of the house, we will transplant it twice, which means that it will require three types of containers. For seeding, the ideal option would be special containers with a shallow cell intended for one seed. Next, we need small containers, for example, disposable cups of 200 grams. For the final stage of planting, either plastic high containers of 500 grams or large plastic disposable beakers for beer will do.

We take small pieces of gauze, we spread on them seeds of one kind of tomatoes, dip into water and lay out on a saucer. To gauze does not dry out, we cover the saucer with a film. In a day or two seeds are pecked, and you can plant them in the ground. We fall asleep our container with a shallow cell with an earth mixture and level the surface with a hand or ruler. In each cell we lay on the seed and water. We cover the entire container with a film and put it in the sun.

For convenience, you can write the name of varieties on the paint tape and stick it to the side of the container. We remove the film when small sprouts appear. Watering the seedlings should only be warm and settled water. When two or three leaves are formed, we will transplant into the next container.

How correctly to plant tomatoes in glasses? Pour 1/3 cup of soil mixture. With the help of a tea or coffee spoon we get a seedling from one cell. We set it in the middle of the glass, hold it and cover the free space with earth. Small cells are very convenient and allow not to damage the root system during transplantation. Each glass is signed depending on the variety. The next transplant will be when the seedlings become cramped in a small container.

Care will be in timely watering. If you used specialized ground for planting, then no additional fertilizing is required. And if you used garden soil, then you need to feed the seedlings 12 days after the shoots and again, 10 days after the first fertilizing. We need 15 grams of potassium fertilizer, 40 grams of superphosphate and 5 grams of urea per 10 liter bucket of water. A wonderful top dressing will come out of dilute Mullein, taken in the proportion of 1/10.

The next important moment will be landing in a greenhouse. How correctly to plant tomato seedlings so that they are well established? After hiding the greenhouse with a film and digging the beds, it should take at least 10 days. During this time the soil will have time to warm up well, and the top layer will dry up. Digging deep holes a bit more than the height of containers for seedling.

While holding the stem and tapping on the bottom of the glass, carefully pull out the earthen lump with the roots. We lay the seedlings in the hole at an angle of 45 degrees and sprinkled with zamlay. This will help the formation of additional roots and will not allow the stem to break. Pour well planted seedlings with warm water.

Each gardener develops a personal system, how to plant tomatoes correctly. But the main thing is to love plants and try not to harm them. Then they will give a wonderful harvest.
