Growing seedlings: when to sow vegetables
Already in February, it makes sense to start calculating the optimal timing of sowing for seedlings of vegetables and flowers. Calculate the timing of sowing vegetable seeds for seedlings is not difficult.
To determine the date of seed sowing, the following factors must be considered:
For example, celery seedlings are planted in open ground around May 25.
From this date, it is necessary to postpone back the optimal age of seedlings, which is 70-80 days, adding to it the days that will pass from sowing to seedlings - up to 15 days, and several days for the survival of seedlings after transplantation.
Thus, to calculate when it is possible to sow celery for seedlings, 90-95 days must be subtracted from the date of May 25. It turns out that you can start sowing celery for seedlings after February 25.
If you want to get the first harvest by a certain date, you must also take into account the duration of vegetation of the plant from planting to the first fruits. (This is usually shown on a packet of seeds).
For example, in early varieties and hybrids of tomato, the growing season to the first fruit is about 100 days.
The optimal age of seedlings for planting in a permanent place is 45-50 days. The average period from sowing to seedlings is 7-8 days. The optimal time for planting the prepared seedlings in the greenhouse is about June 1.
Thus, to get the first harvest of lettuce tomatoes by July 20, seeding should begin 100 days before this date, plus a week from sowing to seedlings and about five days for adaptation of seedlings after planting. The approximate date of sowing is April 1-8.
The same algorithm calculates the timing of sowing seeds of pumpkin crops - cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, melons, watermelons. It should be remembered that these crops are more precocious and worse tolerate transplantation, so they are grown immediately in individual pots (preferably peat so as not to extract before planting) and no longer than before the appearance of 3-4 of this leaf. These crops are very light-loving, so they should be sown no earlier than April 10-20.
Sowing tomatoes, peppers and eggplant on seedlings in February-March makes sense in the presence of heated greenhouses and the ability to plant seedlings in a permanent place in late April - early May.
And we must remember that too impatient gardeners risk getting overgrown seedlings. “Growing” does not affect only the seedlings of celery and pepper.

To determine the date of seed sowing, the following factors must be considered:
- the date of the planned planting of seedlings on a permanent place (as a rule, if the seedlings are supposed to be planted in protected soil, it is desirable that it be ready by May 10-20, if in the open - not earlier than June 10);
- the average time of emergence of shoots after sowing (in different cultures they are usually from 3 to 15 days);
- The age to which you need to grow seedlings before planting in a permanent place.
For example, celery seedlings are planted in open ground around May 25.
From this date, it is necessary to postpone back the optimal age of seedlings, which is 70-80 days, adding to it the days that will pass from sowing to seedlings - up to 15 days, and several days for the survival of seedlings after transplantation.

Approximate dates for seedlings of major vegetable crops for the middle strip of Russia:
- celery. Landing on May 25th. The age of seedlings is 70-80 days, from sowing to seedlings - up to 15 days. Sowing - after February 25.
- Sweet pepper. Landing in the greenhouse - June 5. The age of seedlings is up to 70 days, from sowing to seedlings - 12-14 days. Sowing - after March 10.
- Cabbage is early. Landing after May 20th. The age of seedlings is up to 50 days, from sowing to shoots - 5 days. Sowing - March 15.
- Colored cabbage and broccoli Sowing together with the early white.
- Onions and blacks.. Landing in mid-May. The seedling age is up to 50 days. Sowing - after March 15.
- eggplant. Landing in the greenhouse - June 5. The age of seedlings is up to 50 days, from sowing to shoots - 12 days. Sowing on April 1.
- tomato. The age of seedlings is 45-50 days, from sowing to seedlings - 7-8 days. Sowing - April 1-8.
- Cucumber. Planting in the greenhouse without technical heating - after May 25. The age of seedlings is 25-27 days, from sowing to shoots - 3 days. Sowing - no earlier than April 25.
- salad. Landing on June 10. The age of seedlings is up to 40 days, from sowing to shoots - 4 days. Sowing - after April 25.
- Cabbage white medium-ripe. Planting - after an early white cabbage. The seedling age is up to 40 days. Sowing at the end of April.
- Pumpkin, zucchini, patisson. Landing on June 10. The age of seedlings is 25-27 days, from sowing to shoots - 4 days. Sowing - after May 10.published
