The seedling method of growing tomatoes is extremely popular among gardeners.
Probably every gardener knows about the importance of temperature and lighting when caring for a young plant.
But not all owners of a garden plot are aware of another important nuance.
So, even under ideal growing conditions, the condition of tomato seedlings will not be the best if one important procedure is not carried out on time.
What procedure are we talking about?
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds: you need to choose the right time for picking.
Many summer residents make a serious mistake: they transplant seedlings immediately after the young plant begins to form a flower cluster.
This should never be done, otherwise the seedlings will not be strong, which means the tomato harvest will not be of high quality and abundant.
It is advisable to transplant about a week before the flower cluster begins to appear.
If the time of the last process cannot be predicted, then the seedlings should be transplanted immediately after the first leaf blade appears.
Earlier it became known which varieties of tomatoes summer residents choose “based on experience” for planting in the ground.
