As is known, the summer cottage harvest for gardeners who grow peppers and eggplants begins in January-February.

It is at this time, according to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , that it is worth starting to prepare seeds.

As you might have guessed, we are talking about soaking (not to be confused with sprouting).

Sorted and disinfected healthy seeds should be placed between cotton pads soaked in a specially prepared solution.

To prepare it, you will need to add a few drops of aloe juice to regular water.

Of course, aloe vera is not found in every apartment, so its juice can be replaced with hydrogen peroxide.

The grains should remain in this state for about a day (no more).

As a result of such a procedure, the development of the plant embryo is accelerated, and its immunity is strengthened, which means that the risk of infection with diseases is reduced to a minimum.
