There is one important point that every gardener should know and remember, without which one can’t even dream of a harvest.

We are not talking about soil and fertilizers, not neighborhood and crop rotation in the beds, but about the basic germination of seeds. Because of this, time can be lost.

Before you start sowing, you need to check the germination of vegetable seeds.

Here's how to do it

No gardener is immune from poor quality seeds. Neither those who buy seeds in stores, nor those who collect them themselves.

It doesn't take much to quickly and effectively determine the suitability of seeds for further use.

Take a glass of water at room temperature and add 1 tablespoon of salt.

After it dissolves, you need to place the seeds inside that you are going to use for planting.

Then everything is simple. We leave it and observe.

The seeds that have settled to the bottom are suitable for planting. If they are planted correctly, there will be no problems in the future.

Anything that remains on the surface of the water is thrown away. There will be no shoots from these seeds.
