To get a rich harvest of vegetables, you need to sow seeds for seedlings in time. The success of the entire event depends on how strong and robust the seedlings grow.
The first thing gardeners pay attention to is the phases of the moon, but this is not the most important thing.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how and when to sow tomato seeds for seedlings.
Decide on the variety
Having decided on the varietal characteristics, the timing of sowing seeds, and transplanting seedlings into the ground, you can choose the optimal date and phase of the moon.
Determinate varieties
There are some peculiarities here. It has been noted that these crops are best sown in the first half of the lunar phase.
Indeterminate varieties
But these tomatoes are sown closer to the full moon.
It is worth reminding that you can't plant at all during the full moon, but you can do it during the waning moon. At this time, moisture gets to the roots better.
We choose the time
The best days for sowing tomato seeds for seedlings in February are the 12th-14th, 16th-19th and the 24th.
You can wait until March and sow on the 4th and 17-19th.
