A wonderful woman and experienced gardener Olga Chernova shares tips. She has something to say about what four typical errors It is allowed by gardeners when growing plants.

Tomato seedlings 2020 Mistake #1 The first and most important mistake is irrigation. Many gardeners pour their seedlings completely, thinking that it will be better for her. The problem is that the plant does not react very clearly to generous watering and their excessive bay continues. All this leads to frail adult plants and pale seedlings before transplantation.

How do you water the seedlings??? The mode of irrigation, as well as its methods, differs depending on the type of plant and its age. But regarding water for irrigation, there are general recommendations that will “work” in any case. The optimal water temperature is +20 ... +25 ° C, so before watering you need to heat the water or let it stand in the room. It is not necessary to boil irrigated water, since it loses oxygen during this process. Melt or rain water is best suited for seedlings. You can get clean snow. But in urban environments it is quite difficult. Water from the plumbing, as a rule, contains a lot of calcium and magnesium salts, that is, very hard. For plants, such moisture is not useful. And if you add chlorine... Such water can be filtered or defended for 1-2 days and then used. You can get real live water by freezing ordinary tap water. For that, 1️ We collect it in a plastic container, but not to the edges, since water expands when it freezes. 2️к The container with water is placed in the freezer and kept for some time. 3 Н Nuance is to prevent the water from freezing completely. For example, a liter container on average requires about an hour of stay in the freezer. 4️ After most of the water has frozen (the ice formed in the center of the vessel), the rest of it must be drained. Crystallizing, the water becomes clean and soft, displacing impurities unnecessary to plants in the unfrozen residue. 5️ Then the resulting ice is thawed without the use of heating devices, let it warm up to room temperature and everything, "living water" is ready! It will be really useful for seedlings. ► #seeding #seedlings #sailants #dashers #watering #polyvrasseeds #planting #7dach #7dach

Tomatoes do not need water, like cucumbers. Their soil can be quite dry from above, but at a depth of 1-2 cm the soil will be moist. Therefore, try to water the seedlings no more than once a week. Of course, approximately. We don’t know what you’re doing with your garden.

Mistake #2 Another weakness in seedling care is soilIt's where it's grown. Tomatoes are not always able to get enough nutrients. Of course, there is fertilization, but you will never know for sure what is more and what is less in the purchased land from the store.

You can make the breeding ground with your own hands. Take 50% of the field land, preferably from a wormhole, mix with 50% humus and pour half a glass of ash on a bucket of water. Such soil is full of useful substances and it will be enough exactly before planting seedlings in open ground or in a greenhouse. Naturally, it must be etched to get rid of bacteria and pests.

Mistake #3 Violation light and temperature. Ideal, or close to it, temperature for our plants: 25 degrees during the day and 12-15 degrees at night. Naturally, residents of insulated apartments have to somehow get out of the situation at night: ventilate plants, put on the balcony and so on. But it is necessary for growth and a good harvest.

Well, to provide the right amount of light to plants, use special lamps. Tomatoes love light, and you can't go too far with it. Good lighting will make their thin stems more stocky and elastic.

Mistake #4 Make sure to calculate the exact date of tomato planting for your region. Tomatoes can be planted in the ground only when the air temperature does not fall below 5 degrees. Naturally, the temperature in the ground is much lower and young plants should not experience any discomfort.

Of course, with the date of disembarkation, we can not help you, since everyone has their own region of residence. Try to find out about it from more experienced friends, neighbors, or on the Internet.

Try to choose the tomato variety that grows best in your region. Of course, you have the right to experiment, but we're talking about a generous harvest. Early varieties grow well in warm latitudes, and late ones in cool ones.

Secrets of the Good Tomato Race? Secret 1: Useful spraying. To increase the yield of tomato bushes, during the flowering of the second and third flower brushes, it is very good to spray the plants with a weak solution of boric acid. Boron "will help" germination of pollen, tying and growth of fruits. Along with this, it also stimulates the formation of new growth points, and contributes to an increase in sugar in the fruit. Just imagine: using this advice, you can increase the yield of your tomatoes by 20%! Recipe: 10 grams of boric acid powder diluted in 10 liters of water. It is enough to spray 1-2 times. Secret 2: A little shake. Tomatoes are self-pollinating plants, and in natural conditions they are pollinated by wind and insects without any complications. But tomatoes that are grown in greenhouses are less fortunate: natural factors - wind and flying assistants - are absent, and it will not be superfluous to help pollinate bushes "living under the roof." Moreover, this process is completely unimportant. It is enough to shake the flower brushes a little every few days. Experienced summer residents advise immediately after shaking all the bushes to spray flowers or water the soil, and after 1.5-2 hours to ventilate the greenhouse. Secret 3: Cunning Geography. If you grow tomatoes in a greenhouse, then the ideal option would be to arrange the planting "latitude" - from east to west. This orientation will provide more uniform sunlight for all bushes; they will be well warmed by the sun in the morning and minimally shaded by adjacent rows at noon. As a result - an increase in the length of daylight and an increase in yield. Secret 4: Strong roots. The stronger and stronger the root, the more fruits it can provide nutrition, and the larger these fruits can be. And what can we do to “strengthen” the root system of the tomato bush? Shoot. It turns out that swelling also has its secrets. It is necessary to finish at the time of root growth ... but the roots of tomatoes do not grow continuously, but in periods. It happens something like this: first, the roots grow intensively, then they slow down their growth, and the vegetative mass begins to actively increase. Then the root growth is activated again.

An adult plant will not be disturbed by the presence of calcium. A well-chopped shell can help, but the particles should not be sharp, it can damage the root system.

An important nuance of dressing nightshade! Do not forget that nightshade?, except for potatoes?, before the formation of ovaries need to be fed with fertilizers with a low nitrogen content. In the first half of May, there is definitely no manure, herbal infusion or "Kemira". With improper feeding, plants will drop ovaries?, buds?, seedlings with excess nitrogen decreases frost resistance т️ #successful season #spring #garden #seeds #seeds #seedings #seedingspools #weedzapomidors #grooming #mineral fertilizers #fertilizations

This is what Olga Chernova told us. And judging by her tomato harvest, she's saying the right thing. So make sure you don’t make any mistakes that prevent you from growing tomatoes.

Are we growing the right tomatoes??? 1.The first thing is to grow a good, strong seedling. It is better to sow in separate pots. Thus, if sown in a box, then peek directly into the soil of greenhouses with a distance of 15 cm between plants and cover with a light spunbond. With the onset of heat, we remove the shelter, and we thin out the grown tomatoes. 2. The second thing is very important: to form in one stem. Remove all stepsons once every three days and leaves below the first brush. One root should work on one stem. Otherwise, the forces will go to the formation of a mass of stems and leaves, not fruits. 3. As soon as the bushes get tired of sticking vertically, they must be tied with cords, the ends of which are fixed on the upper poles. As the stem grows, we wrap the cord around. When the fruit is ripened, then the heavy brushes will also tie, otherwise the cracks will prevent the filling of fruits. Under the lower brushes, put tablets so that the fruits do not lie on the ground. 4. Medium-ripe varieties, especially plum-shaped tomatoes, give abundantly flowering brushes. Attention! Only if you pinch the extra flowers, leaving the first five - seven, and on large-fruited two - three, the left will grow faster. 5. When five brushes are formed on the stem, remove the growth point, leaving three leaves above the top. Instead of the growth point will persistently appear strong stepchildren – twins, they must be regularly broken. You won’t get the harvest until the end of summer. 6. Passenger without pity! From the moment of planting seedlings and all summer to pluck shoots growing from the root and from the sinuses of leaves. 7. In order to avoid phytofluorosis, in every possible way to combat the humidity of the air in the greenhouse: air during the day, water only under the root. 8. At the end of July, make the last good watering and mulch all the soil under the bushes with a thick layer of straw or sawdust. 9.It is timely to collect fruits, especially from the lower hands. While the fruits do not have shine, they are still in the pouring stage. Reached the optimal size, shiny - so you can remove them. They will ripen in crates and will be as tasty as red on bushes. 10. Cut everything unnecessary: fertile brushes, yellowed leaves, all leaves below the fruit. All the fruits of the fruit are to be cut off with a cutter. #Tomatoes#seeds#tomatoes#
