Quite often, gardeners, either out of habit or due to lack of experience, begin sowing with a standard procedure – soaking the seeds.
Let's try to figure out which seeds should not be soaked and why. There are not many of them, so it won't be difficult to remember.
First, the seeds are coated
Modern manufacturers of this product are trying in every way to capture the attention of gardeners and for this purpose they resort to various tricks. For example, they treat seeds with special compounds that promote better germination, improve the growth and development of seedlings, and protect against diseases. By soaking such a seed, you will only harm the future result.
Secondly, if the seeds germinate quickly
There is absolutely no point in soaking the seeds of radishes and horseradish, turnips and others. There is no harm to be said about this, but this procedure is extremely useless and takes up a lot of free time. Just plant them on time and in normal soil, and these crops will sprout themselves amicably and without red tape.
Thirdly, small seeds
Do not try to soak tiny seeds of petunia and lobelia, celery and sorrel, as well as strawberries and other crops. This should not be done, because the seeds will certainly be lost, not to mention the difficulties with planting them when wet.
