It is no secret that sometimes summer residents are thoughtless when choosing and buying seeds, and blame the weather conditions for an unsuccessful harvest.
Instead of lamenting in the future about the meager quantity and poor quality of fruits collected from your plot, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to learn now about the mistakes that can lead to such a result.
An ill-considered choice
It often happens that gardeners and vegetable growers spend money on things they don’t really need – the attractive range of specialty stores makes you forget that you have cucumber and carrot seeds at home that are suitable for planting.
To prevent this from happening to you, go shopping with a shopping list in your pocket.
Beautiful pictures and bright packaging
Even if a seed producer has spent money on packaging design, this does not mean that the contents will be of first-class quality.
Instead of being tempted by colorful pictures, follow the product description and pay attention to the production date of the seeds.
Overkill with quantity
To avoid buying too much, analyze at home exactly how many seeds you need. You shouldn't buy in bulk - over time, the seeds may lose their quality and germination.
Time of purchase
If you buy seeds in the fall, and don't put it off until spring, you can be sure that the assortment will be much richer. And the prices in the fall months are much lower.
