Peppers and eggplants belong to the category of rather capricious crops that love warmth.
Therefore, an experienced gardener sets himself the task of choosing the right variety and sowing the seeds on time.
Some summer residents prefer to rely on the Lunar calendar when planting these plants as seedlings.
Let's look into this issue in more detail.
You can start sowing in the second half of February, 80 days before transplanting into the soil in the garden.
You should start with late-ripening and mid-ripening varieties that begin to bear fruit after 110-140 days.
Early varieties are sown in late February or early March. It is also important to devote time to eggplants and peppers during picking – it is strongly recommended to be careful with the roots.
Pepper seeds can be disinfected by placing them in hydrogen peroxide or chlorhexidine for 10 minutes.
