Many summer residents who are just trying their hand at gardening sometimes make gross mistakes when growing tomato seedlings.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told us what exactly farmers are doing wrong.

So, contrary to popular belief, you should not constantly keep seedlings in greenhouse conditions.

To adapt the seedlings to the environmental conditions they will soon find themselves in, do not forget to regularly take the containers with young shoots outside to harden them.
