Today I want to share with you the experience of growing seedlings in the fall. Why I decided that this topic will be of interest? Because neighbors are surprised when I tell them how I plant the seedlings, and some have already taken advantage of my experience.
Since January gardeners begin to plant the seedlings in the flat. First Petunia or snapdragons, then the peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, flowers and closer to spring cabbage and beets. And probably a lot of things.
And the apartment is transformed into a greenhouse: window sills and tables lined with jars on the balcony boxes with seedlings. I think this picture is familiar to many. I reduced the number of seedlings that are planted in the house.
Method autumn planting and sowing of flowers
Since the autumn, when to dig the beds in the greenhouse, I furrow stack dried flowers, which are removed from the florist. I close them with a layer of earth and remember to early spring.
At the end of March I start to throw snow beds, bed 30 cm.
A week later, the land dries up, and I friable her with plane Fokine. I do not dig, and unconsolidated! At the spot where she was buried floral tops, shoots appear - it grow my flowers. In this way, I have a few years grow calendula, cornflower, marigold, nasturtium, Cosmo.
You can, of course, these flowers are not planted in advance, if you leave the dried plants in a flower bed, they will germinate in the spring from fallen seed, but will be there, where they did not expect. Can they not notice and accidentally trample or dig. And if the winter was cold, and it does not grow.
You can plant the seeds of flowers in the ground, but if the spring is cold, the seeds will sprout bad. A seedling way I can be sure that the flowers planted in the flower garden, which I need, and they will bloom earlier.
The rules for good germination
Perhaps you can also other crops germinate so, I have not tried. What you need to remember to flower seeds sprouted in the spring:
1. Choose a well-lit and heated a bed;
2. The grooves laid tops, which are exactly the ripe seeds;
3. Spring does not dig a bed, only to loosen;
4. If the spring is cold, cover covering materials.
At the same time, when friable flower bed with flowers, I planted in the greenhouse seeds of cabbage, beets and parsley. A little later, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins,sunflower.
seedling of greenhouse ahead for the development of their brothers, planted in a jar at home, and easy to tolerate transplant.
This method is accidentally discovered. Since I did not grow seedlings house colors. I really hope that my advice is useful to someone, your Irina Bogdanova.
Thank you and see you soon! :) Come visit - Stay live! :)
