Things to plant in march

We have compiled a detailed list of 24 plants that can be sown in seedlings, in a greenhouse or directly in open ground in March. Here and vegetables, and herbs, and herbs.

The beginning of spring is the beginning of the sowing season. Do not put off this matter indefinitely - you can start right now!

What to sow in March for seedlings

Crops with a long growing season in the conditions of the middle zone necessarily require cultivation through seedlings. Otherwise, they simply will not have time to ripen during the summer months.

Basil

The second half of March and April is the time to sow your favorite herb.

Keep in mind that basil is a thermophilic plant. For germination, seeds need to provide an air temperature of 23-28 ° C.

To get a lush fragrant bush that will attract a swarm of bees and butterflies during flowering, it is advisable to germinate the seeds before sowing.

Keep in mind that basil seedlings need good lighting - at least 10 hours a day. Therefore, it is desirable to use LED lamps for supplementary illumination.

Basil seedlings are planted in the garden in the second half of May - June, when the risk of return frosts finally passes.

Eggplant

Eggplants can be sown for seedlings already at the end of February and up to mid-March. If you sow later, the plants will bloom only at the end of summer, that is, you may not wait for the harvest.

Before sowing, it is advisable to treat the seeds with a fungicide and germinate in a damp cloth on a radiator. Seeds are buried by about 0.5 cm.

Eggplants, like peppers, do not respond well to picking, so it is recommended to sow them in individual pots.

Eggplants are demanding in terms of lighting, so you can’t do without supplementary lighting with a phytolamp - seedlings need 10-12 hours of daylight per day. After germination for 1. 5 weeks, the seedlings are transferred to a room with a temperature of 15-17°C, and then kept at 24-26°C.

Seedlings are transplanted into the ground on average 65-70 days after germination - in late May - early June.

Broccoli

Broccoli can be sown directly into the garden in June. But why not sow it for seedlings in March, so that you can already harvest in the first summer month?

Sowing can be carried out from the second half of March to the second half of April. Seedlings are planted in May.
Sowing broccoli is no different from sowing any other type of cabbage. Seeds are buried by 1 cm. After germination, the plants are transferred to a cool place to prevent stretching.

Picking is carried out in the phase of 5-6 true leaves.

Don't forget to read our material about the secrets of growing broccoli in the middle lane.

White cabbage

White cabbage is sown for seedlings in March-April, and the seedlings are "relocated" to the ground in May. Harvest from plants of early varieties ( Gribovsky, Dita, Zolotovorotskaya, June, Surprise , etc.) can be harvested as early as June.

Seeds are recommended to be prepared in advance. To begin with, soak in hot water (about 50 ° C) for 20 minutes, and then send it to the refrigerator for 12 hours. Before sowing, it is a good idea to disinfect the soil with a 1% solution of potassium permanganate or pour it with boiling water.

Immediately after germination, seedlings are taken to a room with a temperature of 10-12°C. After a few days, the containers with plants are transferred to heat and provide a minimum of 12-hour daylight hours, otherwise the seedlings will quickly stretch and droop.

The pick is carried out in phase 2 of true leaves.

Brussels sprouts

Brussels sprouts are sown for seedlings in March, and grown seedlings are planted in the ground in May. In about 2.5-3 months it will be possible to harvest.

Please note that this crop, like other types of cabbage, does not bear fruit well in "greenhouse" conditions. To grow strong, healthy seedlings, you will have to maintain a temperature of 10-15 ° C and extend daylight hours with phytolamps at least up to 12 hours.

Savoy cabbage

Savoy cabbage is still quite exotic for the middle zone, but in fact its agricultural technology does not differ at all from that of its white "sister".

Sowing is carried out in March-April, seedlings are planted in the garden in May. Savoy cabbage ripens in September - early October.

Seedling care is the same as for other types of cabbage. The only important nuance to consider is that savoy cabbage requires good moisture, but quickly rots when water stagnates at the roots. Therefore, when sowing this crop, be sure to take care of a good drainage layer at the bottom of the container.

Cauliflower

March is the time for sowing seedlings of early varieties of cauliflower ( Amphora, Dachnitsa, Purple, Snowball, Express , etc.).

Sowing and care - as for seedlings of other types of cabbage with one feature: seedlings should be watered abundantly, but infrequently - about 1 time per week, after which it is necessary to ventilate the room to prevent the plants from rotting.

The pick is carried out in the phase of the first pair of true leaves.

Seedlings are ready for transplanting into the ground 45-50 days after emergence (usually in the phase of 5-6 true leaves).

Kohlrabi

Seeds of kohlrabi are sown in March-April, seedlings dive when the first true leaf appears, and transplanted to a permanent place in late May - early June.

Immediately after the seedlings have hatched, the containers are transferred to a room with a temperature of 9-10°C for a week, and in the following days until planting in the ground (in the phase of 3-4 leaves) they are kept at 16-18°C.

It will be possible to harvest in July-August, depending on the variety.

Leek

Leek is sown for seedlings in the second half of March. To guarantee seedlings, it is recommended to germinate the seeds.

Seeds are buried at a depth of 1-1.5 cm and the distance between plants is kept at 5 cm. C, and then raise it a few degrees.

The pick is carried out approximately one month after emergence. Every 2 weeks, the leaves are shortened to 10 cm to stimulate root formation.

In May, at the age of 6-8 weeks, when the seedlings have 3 leaves, the seedlings are transplanted to the bed.

Onion

Sowing onions is essentially the same as sowing leeks. It is preferable to do this in the first half of March.

Shoots appear after about 3 weeks. Seedling care is simple: you need to water it when the top layer of soil dries out, and fertilize with full mineral fertilizer (according to instructions) at the age of 3 weeks.

Onion seedlings are transplanted into the ground in May.

Pepper

Bell pepper seeds should preferably be pickled in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate, and then germinated in a damp cloth on a radiator.

Pepper, like eggplant, does not react well to any "intervention" in the root system and does not like picking, so it is advisable to sow the seeds immediately in individual containers. If you nevertheless sowed them in a common container, the pick must be carried out in the phase of the first pair of true leaves.

Learn more about the rules for growing pepper seedlings in our detailed master class.

Celery root

Celery can be sown throughout March. Considering that the seeds of this crop are small and hatch slowly, it is easiest to germinate them in advance and only then sow without burying them in the ground.

Celery seedlings are unpretentious and can withstand temperatures as low as a few degrees below zero. However, the seedlings of this culture do not tolerate excess moisture near the roots, so a layer of drainage must be poured onto the bottom of the box.

Tomato

Surely you have already seen our detailed master class on growing tomato seedlings. Perhaps the most difficult thing here is to correctly calculate the sowing time, because it varies depending on the early maturity of the variety.

The easiest way is to start from the opposite: choose an approximate date when your climatic conditions will allow you to harvest the first crop, count from it the number of ripening days indicated on the package, and take another 10-13 days for germination and seedling adaptation.

Tomato, unlike the "sissies" of eggplant and peppers, loves picking. Immediately after the appearance of the first pair of true leaves, the seedlings are transplanted into individual pots, slightly pinching the main root. This stimulates the formation of a fibrous root system. Detailed instructions with photos can be found in our master class Picking tomato seedlings.

What to sow in open ground in March

In early spring, cold-resistant crops are sown directly on the bed, which are not afraid of frost.

Peas

Peas can be planted outdoors at the end of March. Seeds will germinate even at 4-7°C, and young seedlings tolerate frosts down to -6°C. However, when sowing in the first half of March, it is recommended to cover the bed with a film.

It is best to soak the seeds for 1-2 days before sowing. They are deepened by 3-4 cm. The distance between rows is 15-20 cm, between plants in one row is 5-6 cm.

Black onion

Black onions can be sown outdoors in early spring, as soon as the snow melts and the ground warms up to a depth of 5-6 cm.

Black onion seeds have a short shelf life, so only last season's seeds can be used. If you buy seed, we recommend that you hold the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 1-2 days and, if desired, germinate them.

The soil is loosened a couple of days before sowing with a flat cutter to a depth of about 10 cm, then spilled with hot water and covered with a black film. After 2-3 days, the bed is ready for sowing.

Nigella is sown in grooves according to the scheme 1.5×25 cm, sprinkled with a layer of earth 2-3 cm. After that, the bed is covered with organic mulch (eg peat).

Carrot

The term for sowing carrots in open ground comes at the end of March.

Due to the tiny size of carrot seeds, it is recommended to germinate them before sowing. So you will save yourself from the dilemma: sow untested seeds according to the recommended 5 × 20 cm pattern and not wait for germination in some of the holes, or play it safe by sowing several seeds in one hole, and eventually get dense plantings.

For more information, see our article on 7 effective ways to sow carrot seeds.

Parsnip

March is the time to sow parsnips. For this root crop, a plot with loose fertile soil is chosen.
The main problem of parsnips is poor seed germination. To reject low-quality material, it is desirable to germinate them before sowing.

Seeds are very light and can easily be washed out of the soil by precipitation, sowing is carried out in dry weather.

Keep in mind that the seed has a 1-2 year shelf life, so only use seeds harvested last year.

Parsnip sowing scheme - 10-20×40 cm. Seeds are deepened by 2 cm.

Parsley

Parsley is one of the most hardy plants in our beds. If you sow it with a conveyor, with an interval of 2-3 weeks, you can pick fresh branches of this fragrant greenery from early spring to the very frost.

Before sowing, the seeds are soaked in a pink solution of potassium permanganate for a day, and then they are germinated in wet gauze or a paper napkin on a battery.

Parsley is sown according to the scheme 2-3×15 cm, deepening the seeds by 1 cm.

Seedlings of this crop are very tender and do not tolerate direct sunlight. Water them carefully, using a syringe or pipette.

Parsley can also be grown from seedlings.

Radish

To obtain friendly shoots, the seeds are germinated in a damp cloth. They are sown according to the scheme 5×10-15 cm, embedded in the soil to a depth of 2 cm.

What to sow and plant in the greenhouse in March

Many crops are quite resistant to low temperatures and do not require growing seedlings on the windowsill - they can be sown directly in the greenhouse.

Spinach

Growing spinach in your garden is easy. This unpretentious plant feels best at a temperature of 15-18 ° C. To collect several crops in a row, you can sow at intervals of 2-3 weeks.

Seed is 1 cm deep, maintaining a distance of 20 cm between rows and 10 cm between plants in a row.

Salad

At the end of March, you can safely sow various types of lettuce in the greenhouse.

The seeds of this crop are tiny, so they are not embedded in the ground, but scattered on the surface. The standard scheme for planting leaf and head lettuce is 25 × 30 cm, so after the appearance of true leaves, the seedlings should be thinned out.

Chinese cabbage

Beijing cabbage can be sown in the greenhouse at the end of March.

Seeds are buried 2 cm deep and sown according to the scheme 10×50 cm. After 3-7 days, the first shoots should appear.

The optimum temperature for growing this crop is 15-20°C. At the same time, it is important to take into account that a change in temperature by 2-3 or more degrees in any direction can be fraught with crop loss.

Mustard

Salad mustard is a frost-resistant early maturing plant. It can be sown in the greenhouse from the beginning of March.

Seeds are buried 1-1.5 cm, leaving a distance of 10-20 cm between plants, 40-45 cm between rows.

Favorable temperature for growing mustard is 15-20°C.

Dill

Dill can withstand frost down to -4°C, but due to its need for sufficient light, it is undesirable to sow before mid-March.

Seeding scheme - 5×10 cm, while the seeds are buried by 2 cm.

Radish

If you want to get the first harvest of radishes already in April, it makes sense to sow them in a greenhouse.

The best varieties of early radish - 18 days, Zarya, Okhotsky, Early red, Rose-red with a white tip, Rubin, Saxa .

Carrot

Early carrots are sown in the greenhouse in March (Bureau , Nantes-4, Nantes-14, Puchkovaya , etc. ). Its sowing is no different from sowing carrots grown through seedlings.

In addition, if your greenhouse is heated, early carrot seedlings can already be planted in March.

What to sow in March for seedlings

What crops can open spring sowing for seedlings in March? Let's list them, and at the same time remember some of the subtleties associated with this and conditionally divide the "sowing" month into periods.

It's no secret that some of the garden crops can be sown directly into the ground (especially if it is closed), but in March, for obvious reasons, this should not be done. The exceptions are frost-resistant plants. But pots and boxes with earth, in which seeds of different crops are sown, are already asking for on your windowsill. What flowers and other plants are usually sown for seedlings in March?

What flowers to sow for seedlings in the first half of March

Some of the flowers that we will talk about below can be sown immediately in the ground, but already a month or two later. If you want to wait for early flowering, then the option of sowing seedlings is just right.

Verbena

The seeds of this plant are sown in a seedling box filled with light humus soil, sand or perlite. They are distributed over the surface of moist soil and sprinkled with a thin layer of humus. Then the box is covered with glass or film and placed in a warm (18-20°C) place. After sowing verbena for seedlings in March and before germination, crops are regularly sprayed with a spray bottle, periodically ventilated and remove condensate.

After 20-30 days, when the first sprouts appear, the glass (film) is removed, and the containers with plants are transferred to a slightly cooler place. When 3-4 true leaves appear, the seedlings dive into separate cups.

Seedlings are planted in the ground after warm weather.

Petunia

Petunia is one of the flowers that are usually sown for seedlings in March. When sowing, petunia seeds do not need to be sprinkled with earth, but only gently spread over the surface of a moistened substrate and sprayed with water from a spray bottle. Then the cups with seedlings are covered with a film (glass) to create a greenhouse effect, placed on a well-lit window sill and left in a warm room (23-26 ° C) until the first shoots. After 3-4 days, the temperature is reduced to 18-20°C, and the film is removed. It is not necessary to dive petunia seedlings if you sow the seeds immediately in separate cups.

The time of landing in the ground falls on May - early June.

When growing petunia seedlings, it is important not to overmoisten the soil - otherwise the sprouts can get blackleg.

Marigold

For seedlings, these flowers are sown in March in a mixture of humus, peat, turf, and sand (in a ratio of 2:2:2:1), having previously made grooves in the soil. Pour 1 cm of the same mixture on top and cover, for example, with a lid from a plastic food container.

Seedlings will appear after 5-7 days. At the stage of two true leaves, seedlings dive, and planted in open ground in mid-June.

Annual dahlias

Seeds are sown in a container with light moistened soil, covered and left in a warm, lit room, periodically moistening the soil. After the appearance of 3-4 true leaves, the seedlings dive and grow in a room with an air temperature of about 20 ° C.

In the middle lane, in the open ground, dahlias sown for seedlings in March are usually planted in the first ten days of June.

Echinacea

Their seeds are also sown for seedlings in the first half of March, placed in ordinary universal soil to a depth of 0.5 cm. Sprinkle a little sand on top and moisten with a spray bottle. The first seedlings will germinate not earlier than in a month, or even a month and a half.

Until they appear, the container is kept under cover, removing condensate from the film and spraying the soil with water. The room should not be hot: the optimum temperature for the growth of seedlings of this flower is 13-15 ° C.

In mid-May, grown seedlings can be transferred to open ground.

Fragrant tobacco

Tobacco is sown in a shallow container with soil consisting of peat, humus and garden soil (1:1:1). When sowing seedlings in March, they are scattered over the surface of the soil, trying not to thicken too much, then they are slightly pressed into the soil to a depth of 0.5 cm. They are not sprinkled with earth. The container with seedlings is covered with a film or glass and kept in a warm place (about 20 ° C) until germination, periodically moistening and ventilating.

After the emergence of sprouts, careful watering and loosening of the soil is continued to improve air exchange. In the phase of 2-3 true leaves, tobacco seedlings can be picked into separate containers. Then pinching the tops is carried out so that the bushes grow lush.

Phlox Drummond

When sowing seedlings in March, it is recommended to germinate the Drummond Phlox seed by placing it on a damp cotton pad, covering it with a film and placing it in a warm place. After the seeds have hatched, they are scattered over the surface of any universal soil and lightly sprinkled with it.

After the first shoots appear (after about 7 days), the container is removed from the battery, the plants are provided with light and regular watering. A suitable temperature for growing phlox seedlings is 18-21 ° C. 2-3 weeks after the appearance of true leaves, the seedlings dive into separate pots, then moderately watered and fed with complex mineral fertilizers.

What flowers to sow for seedlings in the second half of March

It is better to plant the next few plants a little later - and their early flowering will also not be long in coming.

Zinnia

When sowing, 2-3 seeds are placed in peat pots filled with a moist substrate, deepening by 1 cm. It is not necessary to cover the seedlings with foil. The first shoots will appear in 5-7 days. Boxes with seedlings of zinnia are best kept under bright diffused light at a temperature of 22-24 ° C. Seedlings are watered as the earthen coma dries up.

After the emergence of sprouts, zinnia seedlings are fed three times with a complex mineral fertilizer with an interval of 2-3 weeks. Landing in open ground is carried out in the second half of May.

Ageratum

When sowing the ageratum for seedlings in March, the seeds are placed in a mixture of sand, humus and peat (1:1:1), shallowly covering and carefully sprinkling with earth. The box with seedlings must be covered with glass or film, and after 10-12 days shoots will appear. After the appearance of 2 pairs of true leaves, the seedlings of the ageratum dive.

Plants are planted in the ground in late May - early June.

Lobularia and alyssum

Before sowing, the seeds of lobularia and closely related alissum are pre-soaked in a growth stimulator, then dried well. Sow in a container with universal soil, after spilling a fungicide solution. The seeds are sparsely scattered along the grooves located at a distance of 2-3 cm, lightly sprinkled with soil and sprinkled with water a little, and covered with a film on top.

After the appearance of 1-2 true leaves, the seedlings are planted in pots 6-8 cm in pairs, moderately watered, loosened and fed. In the second half of May or the beginning, seedlings sown in March can be planted already in the ground.

By the way, if the timing of flowering is not important for you, then lobularia and alyssum can be sown in April - in a greenhouse or in May-June - in open ground.

Maurandia, or Azarina climbing

Maurandia seeds are sown in March for seedlings in separate pots, which are filled with loose nutrient soil. Before sowing, the soil is moistened, then the seeds are laid out on the surface, they are slightly pressed in and sprinkled with sand on top. After the container is covered with a film, transparent plastic lids or glass and put in a warm place, if necessary, the crops are moistened.

From the moment the shoots appear, the seedlings begin to air regularly, and after 7 days the shelter is completely removed. Water the plants moderately, otherwise they may get sick with a black leg.

In mid-May, choosing a sunny, windless place, azarina is planted in open ground. Blooms from mid-July to autumn.

Iberis

When sowing seedlings in March, the seeds are deepened by 1-2 mm, sprinkled with a thin layer of sand on top, covered with film or glass and placed in a bright, warm place. Picking is not recommended, so it is better to immediately sow each of the seeds in a separate container. Seedlings are watered as the earth dries up exclusively by spraying.

Sprouts appear 1-2 weeks after sowing. Iberis seedlings are planted in sandy, rocky or loamy soil in May. In the flower garden, it is sown immediately to a permanent place, since this plant does not like transplants.

All types of garden bell (campanula)

When sowing bluebell seeds for seedlings in March, they are placed in a lightly moistened universal soil and lightly sprinkled with earth on top. Seedling boxes are covered with non-woven material.

It is worth expecting seedlings in about 10 days, and after another 2-3 weeks, seedlings dive. Before planting in the ground, which is carried out in mid-May, the seedlings are fed with complex mineral fertilizers at intervals of 2-3 weeks.

Some types of Campanula can be sown for seedlings even earlier.

Snapdragon or antirrinum

The seeds of this flower are very small, and when sown for seedlings in March, it is recommended to mix them with sand, evenly scatter on the soil surface and spray with warm water from a spray bottle. Then the container is covered with glass or film to speed up and improve germination, and after germination, the shelter is removed.

When two true leaves appear, the seedlings dive into separate pots (low-growing varieties - in a 5x5 cm container, tall ones - 10x10 cm). Then the seedlings are regularly watered, and re-picking is carried out 30 days after germination, pinching the tops - when the plants reach a height of 10 cm, feed the sprouts with any complex fertilizer for flowers.

In open ground, snapdragon seedlings are planted partially flowering, usually late May - early June.

Callistefus or annual aster

Seeds are sown in a mixture of sand, garden soil and peat in a ratio of 1:2:4 (you can additionally add wood ash at the rate of 0.5 cups per 5 liters of mixture). Sprinkle 5 mm sand on top. Then the ground is moistened with a spray bottle, the seedling box is covered with a film or glass to prevent drying out, and kept in a bright place at a temperature of 15-20 ° C.

What vegetables to sow for seedlings in March

In the southern regions, vegetables can be sown already in early March, in colder regions - closer to the middle and even to the end.

Cucumber

Before sowing seedlings, cucumber seeds are treated in a solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes, then washed with warm water. Further, the seeds are recommended to germinate in a moistened paper towel (at a temperature of 30 ° C, the seeds will germinate in 1-2 days, but it should not be lower than 15 ° C). The soil for seed should consist in equal parts of peat, soddy soil, sawdust and humus.

Since it is often quite difficult to dive cucumbers without loss, experienced gardeners recommend initially preparing a separate pot of 300-500 ml for each seed, and moistening the ground in it first. Put the seed on top and sprinkle it with a 3 mm layer of earth.

Then, using a spray bottle, moisten the soil well with warm water, place the containers in a warm place with an air temperature of 25-28 ° C and without drafts, and cover them with plastic wrap or plastic covers on top. After about a week, the sprouts will have their first leaves. At this time, they need very careful and moderate watering.

Cucumber seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse approximately 15-20 days after germination.

Some vegetable crops - cucumber, eggplant, pepper and others can be sown with or without subsequent picking. But fragile seedlings must be dived very carefully so as not to damage them.

Eggplant

Eggplant seeds before sowing seedlings also require preliminary preparation. They are heated, pickled and hardened, and then they must be soaked for 2-3 days and dried.

The soil for sowing should consist of humus, soddy soil (or peat) and sawdust in a ratio of 4:2:1. It is doused with boiling water, cooled and laid out in pots with a volume of about 0.5 liters. 2-3 seeds are placed in each of them to a depth of about 1 cm and covered with plastic wrap, and after germination, the sprouts are pinched, leaving the strongest and healthiest.

Eggplant seedlings should be 65-70 days old when transplanted into the ground.

Pepper

Bell pepper seeds are prepared for sowing seedlings in March according to the same principle. You can choose a universal soil for sowing material, and pour a drainage layer of fine gravel, expanded clay or eggshells on the bottom of each pot.

After filling the pot with soil, it is well watered. Seeds are placed to a depth of 1.5 cm, gently sprinkled with a thin layer of soil and sprayed with a spray bottle. The pots are covered with foil and left in a warm place, protected from the wind.

After the appearance of the first shoots, the seedlings are illuminated so that the length of the daylight hours is at least 12-14 hours. During this period, it is important not to overmoisten the soil!

Pepper seedlings are planted in the ground at the age of 60-80 days.

Tomatoes

When to sow tomatoes for seedlings depends on the region and variety. Tomato seeds are disinfected and germinated. For cultivation, any universal soil is suitable, which should be shed with a pink solution of potassium permanganate and kept for 1-2 days. Then it is laid out in plastic cups with drainage holes previously made in them, and drainage is poured onto the bottom of each.

Holes of 1-2 cm are made in the ground, in which 2-3 tomato seeds are placed. Sprinkle with earth on top, spray the soil a little with a spray bottle and cover the cups with a film. Put in a warm place. After germination (about a week later), the container is moved to a bright place with a temperature not exceeding 18°C.

Tomato seedlings need at least 12 hours of good light per day to grow well. Additionally, you can organize it with the help of phytolamps.

The age of tomato seedlings by the time they are planted in the ground is 40–50 days for early varieties, 55–60 days for mid-season varieties, and 65–70 days for late varieties.

Onion

To sow onions for seedlings, the boxes are filled with soil to a height of 8-10 cm. The seeds are buried 1 cm deep, a 1 cm layer of soil is poured on top and the soil is compacted. The boxes are covered with film or glass, if necessary, the soil is sprayed with warm water.

When shoots appear (usually after 3 weeks), the cover is removed. In the future, plant care is usual: watering when the topsoil dries up and top dressing with complex mineral fertilizer (according to instructions) three weeks after germination.

The time for planting seedlings in open ground is the end of May.

Various types of cabbage

White and cauliflower, as well as kohlrabi and broccoli have almost the same algorithm for sowing seeds for seedlings. First, the seed is heated in hot water, pickled in a solution of potassium permanganate and dried.

The soil mixture is prepared from soddy soil and sand, taken in equal parts. The soil is shed with hot water, loosened and ash is added at the rate of 10 tablespoons. for 10 liters of the mixture. Seeds are placed in boxes with soil in grooves located at a distance of 3-4 cm from each other. Sowed to a depth of about 1 cm with an interval of 2 cm, sprinkled with earth and moistened with a spray bottle.

The container is covered with cling film, plastic lid or glass and kept in a bright place at room temperature until sprouts appear, and then transferred to a room with a temperature of 8-10 ° C for a week, after which it is returned to the previous conditions.

After the appearance of the first true leaf, seedlings are recommended to be kept at a temperature of 18-20°C, periodically hardening at 13-14°C. Cabbage seedlings sown in March must be illuminated with fluorescent lamps or special fitolamps.

The age of seedlings by the time they are transplanted into the ground depends on the type of cabbage.

Celery root

First, the celery root seed must be soaked. The seeds that have hatched are sown in a flat box with earth consisting of humus and sand in equal proportions. In small recesses located at a distance of 2 cm from each other, put 2-3 seeds, sprinkle lightly, cover the container with a film or bag and put it in heat (18-22 ° C), not forgetting to ventilate the container daily and moisten the soil from the spray gun .

Harden off seedlings after sprouts appear. As soon as 2 leaves appear on the seedlings, the sprouts dive. Before transplanting into open ground (at the age of 55-60 days), seedlings are moderately watered and fed once a month.
