No time to hesitate! While some are finishing last year's Olivier salad, watching their favorite comedies, summer residents are already dragging containers and bags of prepared soil from storage rooms and garages for sowing seedlings.
Yes, the time for rest has flown by, and January can be called the phase of active preparation for sowing.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" - a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, told which crops can be sown for seedlings already in January.
Don't forget to check your plans with the recommendations of the lunar calendar, buy phytolamps and the necessary fertilizers and you can start.
Eggplants
Hybrids with the longest period of seed germination, seedling development and root system are suitable for early sowing.
Bell pepper
This crop can be sown in January only if the warm climate allows it.
Residents of the northern regions do not need to rush.
Strawberry
Strawberry seeds are sown at the end of January. If all goes well, the bushes can yield their first harvest this year.
Tomatoes
If you plant seedlings in a greenhouse, you can start sowing tomatoes. Again, you need to take into account the growing season and climatic conditions.
Don't forget to take into account weather conditions and the requirements of the seed producer. If there is a risk of seedlings outgrowing, it would be better to abandon the experiments.
