Many gardeners do not like to bother too much with seeds and seedlings.

However, they are in no hurry to refuse this procedure: as you might have guessed, we are talking about hardening.

Today we offer you an express method, thanks to which this operation will not take more than three days.

Hardening is carried out in a freezer or outside at a temperature of -2..-10 for dry seeds and +1..+5 for wet seeds.

Another nuance: you should harden as many seeds as you decide to germinate.

So, to protect the seed from moisture, it should be placed in a plastic bag and the bag tied in a knot.

The next step is to place it directly in the freezer for 3 days.

After the specified time, the seeds can be taken out and left in room conditions. After 2-3 days, calmly begin sowing for seedlings.
