What plants to plant seedlings in February Bashny.Net

What are the advantages of sowing seeds for seedlings at home:

• It is interesting to observe the development from the seed to the adult plant.
• Profitable. A bag of seeds, from which grow several seedlings, costs less than single plants.
• More choice: check yourself, for example, a variety of shapes and colors of petunias in the form of ready seedlings and seeds.
• Increases the flowering period.
• Self-grown plants are often stronger and hardier seedlings are ready. Because the seedlings may not like the change from greenhouse conditions to "natural".

However, most of the seeds it makes sense to sow until the end of February-beginning of March. Otherwise, even in the presence of additional lighting at the time of landing in the ground they will give the seedlings grown under longer photoperiod.

However, some types of plants should be sown now, if you don't want the spring to buy ready seedlings or delenki.

These include:

1.Annuals with long period of vegetation, the flowering of which occurs a few months after sowing. For example: Chabot carnation blooms after 5-6 months from sowing. Slowly developing seedlings of eustoma.

2. Tuberous perennial plants, timing of planting which have a great influence on the formation of tubers. For example, tuberous begonia. When seed reproduction of its flowering occurs in approximately 5.5-6.5 months. The best tubers are formed in plants in December and January sowing date. In plants March planting tubers by the fall have a significantly lower size: 1-1,5 cm to 2-2. 5 cm Another advantage is that such tubers are stored better.





3.Plants whose seeds require pre-stratification. For example, Aquilegia, with arisaema, gentian (spring and stemless), globe -, rotovnik, codonopsis, clematis, knyazhyky, palomniki, perennial violets, Alpine bells, jeffersonii, irises, most bulbs, lavender, primrose, Pulsatilla.

4.Plants with prolonged period of germination (e.g., primrose).

5. Plants whose seeds are difficult to germinate — a month or more. As a rule, seeds of perennials, with a dense shell.
6.Plants that thrive not only in the garden but also in the room: balsams, pelargonium, fuchsia, spicy peppers.

7. Fuchsia, pepper, Impatiens

8. Heat-loving vegetables with a long growing period, which in the middle lane cannot be grown nonseedlings method: celeriac and leeks.

9. Annuals for early flowering in hanging baskets on balconies and glazed terraces. For example, Lobelia, and Petunia planted in early February, and will bloom in early may.



The last ten days of February can be considered the beginning of spring gardening. At this time comes a basic (not optional) the sowing time of some crops. The end of the month to have time to sow celery seedlings, to sow sweet pepper.

At the end of February is usually carried out sowing seeds of strawberries. Strawberries can be sown also in spring and summer, and not just at the end of winter. But the February sowing allows to gather the first berries already this season and failed to cull the bushes, freeing them from the place. Therefore, many prefer to sow strawberries in February.

Lobelia — planting seeds for seedlings

Three difficulty waiting for early planting:

• The lack of light due to the short daylight hours.
• The need to carefully monitor the temperature. Sharp fluctuations in temperature can kill delicate seedlings.
• The increased likelihood of fungal diseases like black leg because of the moisture required for normal germination and development of seeds, combined with the fairly cool temperature. published
