When to plant tomato seedlings in a greenhouse: optimal timing
Tomatoes are a capricious crop. Therefore, it is important not only to properly care for the plants during the season, but also to choose the optimal date for planting.
The main reference point is weather conditions.
The soil should warm up to 8-10 degrees by the time of planting the seedlings. The air temperature should not fall below 12 degrees Celsius. Optimally - +15 during the daytime.
If the temperature in the greenhouse does not drop below 5-8 degrees Celsius at night, then it means that you can start planting seedlings. If it is colder, the plants will freeze, and you can forget about the harvest in this case.
Experienced gardeners also recommend paying attention to the lunar calendar when choosing the time for planting.
It is believed that in this case the tomatoes will take root better and will be strong and healthy.
Based on this, the favorable days for planting tomatoes in a greenhouse will be:
- in April - 22, 24-27;
- in May - 4, 22-24.
