Once you have decided on the planting area for your garden, you can start purchasing seeds.

Many summer residents prefer to do this already in December, since closer to spring the seeds may become more expensive due to high demand.

Usually, summer residents buy seeds in reserve, but it is enough to maintain a certain norm.

Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

How many seeds should I buy?

For every 10 square meters of area, a certain amount of seeds is required.

You can buy 2 g of cabbage seeds, 8 g of cucumbers, 3 g of tomatoes and peppers, 100 g of onions, 5 g of carrots, 12 g of beets, 4 g of pumpkin, 140 g of beans and 600 g of garlic.

It is important to contact only specialized stores so that there is no shortage of grams for seed packets.

They should “rustle” in the container – this indicates that the material is dry.
