How I sow indoor tomatoes in January and share seedlings with my girlfriends Bashny.Net

January is the best time to sow window vegetables. Every year I sow dill, tomatoes and cucumbers of window varieties. It's winter outside. room-tomatoes They show off on the window. Such beauty - the soul rejoices!



In this article, I want to talk about my experience growing vegetables at home. Perhaps this information will be useful for beginners and those who would like to try growing vegetables at home. If you have something to share on this topic, don’t be shy. Boldly write in the commentary.



Looking at the lunar sowing calendar for this winter, I found that January 16 is a very favorable day for planting tomatoes. I didn’t believe it, but I decided to check it out. After all, without your experience, nowhere. So, now the Moon is in the sign of Pisces, and on January 18 it will pass into the sign of Aries, which is considered an infertile sign. Therefore, on January 13-14, you can soak tomatoes, and on the 16th you can safely sow in the ground.

First, we need to prepare the soil. I usually do this in the autumn: the ground lies under the roof in a cold yard. I also use 5-liter bottles. They are great for growing homemade vegetables. They are very spacious and can also be saved well.



Then I add superphosphate to the thawed ground, pour it into plastic containers, and sow pre-soaked tomatoes. I recommend filling the crops with about 5-10 mm of soil. They also need to be watered and covered with food film. It is transparent and very thin - even if the jar is left closed, the shoots will still not stretch.



After the sunrises rise, I grow them to a real leaf, and then dive the seedlings into trimmed five-liter bottles. They will grow for a while until they bloom. Then you need to add some soil and wait. After a few days, fruits will begin to appear: tomatoes will begin to be poured and as they gain ripeness, they can begin to be collected.

What sorts of crops are sure to yield? My favorite variety is the Balcony Miracle, it will surely please you with abundant foliage. However, it has one small drawback - plants grow quite tall, above a meter. Therefore, you need to figure out in advance how to tie it on the window.



A year ago, I tried to sow the Bonsai variety. To be honest, this variety did not please me much. Perhaps the reason lies in the seeds of poor quality, because my friend has the same variety, but another company, gave quite a decent harvest. This year I want to give you a second chance. Looks "Bonsai" charming - low bushes, which give a lot of fruit. Also in plans to buy a variety of "Alaska", which is very praised by familiar gardeners.



I plan to soak three seeds of each variety. If everyone comes up, I'll share the seedlings with my friends. I should end up with about six window tomatoes, two plants for each variety. I hope all the plants come up and bring a good harvest.



In this case, without personal experience anywhere, but the stories of other gardeners are very useful for acquaintance. Do you grow vegetables at home?
