This coming spring, many summer residents will be planting currants.

Some owners of country plots have probably already managed to buy the appropriate seed material.

Before the beginning of the final month of winter, the gardener must process the seeds in a certain way.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminded us of a simple but very important procedure.

What procedure are we talking about?

In the final days of January, the summer resident must send the currant seeds to the refrigeration unit.

In low temperature conditions, the seed material should remain for at least half a month.

This is necessary to ensure a process such as stratification.

The seeds will germinate quite quickly. The opportunity to sow will appear even before the beginning of the calendar spring.

Transplantation into open ground can be done towards the end of April.

Earlier, the expert explained what needs to be done with strawberry bushes at the beginning of spring so that large fruits will form later.
