Experienced gardeners named the best days in February and March for sowing tomatoes
Experienced gardeners say: the importance of timing the sowing of tomatoes for seedlings should not be underestimated.
If you do this too early, you may end up with elongated and weak seedlings.
If, on the contrary, you are late with sowing, there is a risk of delayed fruiting.
Therefore, experts note, the best time to sow tomatoes is from the end of February to the beginning of March.
At the same time, it is worth considering the climatic conditions of your region - they can adjust the sowing season.
Experienced gardeners point out that by the time of planting in a permanent place, the seedlings should rise to 15-20 centimeters, having 6-7 true leaves.
Since each region has its own planting date (remember the climatic features), you need to focus on the end of the return frosts.
It is very important to calculate the timing correctly so that the seedlings have time to get stronger.
In this regard, attention is drawn to the fact that the vegetation period of early and mid-season varieties is from 50 to 60 days.
It is logical, therefore, that sowing is carried out in the first half of March.
Late varieties require more time to develop, so they are sown in the second half of February, but not later than March 1.
You need to add another 5-7 days to these periods for seed germination and emergence of shoots.
Those who respect the lunar calendar can even find out specific days that are favorable for sowing.
So, in February the calendar names 1, 4, 5 and the period from 10 to 13 February as such.
In March, the 6th-9th, 12th and 13th are considered lucky days.
