The seedlings will not burn under the scorching sun: what needs to be done after planting in open ground

Not all young plants quickly take root in a new place - in a greenhouse or in a garden bed.
If the weather is not just sunny, but hot, then the tips of the leaves dry out. This happens even with seedlings that are on the windowsill, not to mention plants in the open ground.
To protect delicate sprouts from burns, gardeners take into account a number of simple recommendations.
What to do if the seedlings have drooped and become limp
When the leaves of young plants become limp, like rags, it is time to act. This means that the seedlings are not yet ready for such "sun baths".
In this case, the seedlings need protection. For the first time after planting, the plants are covered with special textiles or ordinary film. During the day, the sides are slightly opened to allow fresh air to enter.
What else do seedlings need?
It is necessary to organize regular watering and mulch the soil. To moisten the soil, use settled water at room temperature.
The main task is to keep the soil in the garden from drying out. Mown grass will help retain moisture in the soil.
