Tomatoes in the greenhouse vyrachaschivanie: seedlings

Cultivation of tomatoes on the windowsill precedes growing them in a greenhouse. First you need to sow the seeds in special boxes before the appearance of these third leaflets, watering only 3 times, alternating with feeding. The first time you need to water after the first shoots, the second, when a couple of weeks, with the appearance of the first leaf and the third for 3 hours before picking seedlings in pots.

Note. It is best to water under the root, not allowing water to fall on the leaves. The water temperature should be 20 degrees Celsius and constant.

That the seedlings are not stretched in one direction, the box with the seedlings must be turned daily by the other side to the glass. And the box must always stand on the stand, and not on the windowsill.

Seedlings are dived in pots with a diameter of 8 to 10 cm, where they grow for 22-25 days. Then they must be dived again in pots of a larger diameter 12-14 cm. I water once a week.

Growing houses seedlings on the windowsill can be planted in the greenhouse from the end of April and until mid-May. But at this time it's still cold, so the greenhouse needs to be covered with another layer of film at a distance of 3-4 cm, which can be removed in the early June. In the greenhouse there should be windows not only on the sides, but also on top, this is due to the fact that tomatoes need very good ventilation.

Note. Tomatoes can not be planted in one greenhouse for several seasons in a row. The ideal option is the alternation of cucumbers and a tomato. And in no case they can not be planted together, because they need absolutely different conditions for growth and development.

Tomatoes in the greenhouse must be grown under excellent lighting from morning till night, in no case should the trees obscure it, this will affect the yield.

Tomatoes in the greenhouse cultivation: preparation of beds

A week before planting, you need to prepare ridges for planting. They are made along the greenhouse, at a distance of not less than 60 cm and the path between the ridges should be not less than half a meter.

If a bed of clay or loamy soil is added to it in 1 sq. Km. M on the bucket of sawdust, peat and humus. Well, if beds of peat, it is necessary to add in them a bucket of turf ground, sawdust and a bucket of large sand. In addition to this, add another 1 tbsp. L. Superphosphate, 1 tbsp. L. Potassium sulfate and 2 tbsp. L. Nitrofoski. Then everything is thoroughly digged.

Immediately before planting, the land is watered with a solution of potassium permanganate, diluted in a calculation of 1 gram per 10 liters of water. A solution of potassium permanganate of 50 degrees Celsius is poured into each well in 1-1.5 liters.

Tomatoes in the greenhouse growing: planting seedlings

Normal seedlings reach a length of not more than 25 cm, and planted only slightly prisypav land pot. If the seedling has overgrown, then in no case do not bury its trunk into the ground. The buried stem of the seedling will immediately give new roots, thereby provoking a suspension in the growth and dropping of the flowers of the first brush, which is not at all desirable.

It is much better to do the following: make one more hole in the depth of 12 cm in the depth of the pot and plant the seedlings there, without falling asleep on top. When the seedlings take root, you can cover it with earth after 12 days.

Remember that before planting the lower leaves of the seedling must be removed in order to reduce the risk of disease of the plant. Delete the leaves, preferably leaving 0.5 cm of petioles on them, so as not to injure the stem, if it dries, it will fall off.

Collect the harvest and rejoice.
