Strawberry Moscow Delicacy - variety description

In the southern regions of Russia, tomatoes can be grown by simply burying the seeds directly into the ground. But for reliability, it is better to use a seedling growing method. By the time of transplanting into open ground, the seedling should be about 60 days old. Before sowing, the seeds are disinfected. For this, a weak manganese solution is used.

Planting soil is prepared from earth, ash, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers (dosage, according to the instructions). Before the pick, the plant is no longer fed. The earthen mixture is disinfected before sowing with potassium permanganate. The seeds are laid to a depth of 1 cm and then watered.

Planting soil

The containers with the sown seeds are placed in a warm, lighted place. In the first days, the temperature in the room should not drop below 15 ° C, after 2-3 weeks - not less than 22 ° C. If necessary, the seedlings are covered overnight. They need periodic watering.
