Dive days of tomatoes in 2017

What to choose favorable days for planting and picking tomatoes this year? Pinching the root is carried out necessarily somewhere from one third of the root, so that the root in the future grows in length, and not on the sides. Plus, you need to pick in time so that the root system still has time, while it is young, to recover.

What dates to choose

From the lunar calendar for every year You can take specific days for determining growth that are suitable for growth. If you are able to choose the best dates, then any culture, including tomatoes, after each manipulation will be healthy, grow actively during the season and in the future please with a good harvest.

For crops, depending on whether they give the fruit land or already on the bush, various favorable lunar dates are determined. Also, when planting and picking seedlings, one cannot ignore the climatic features of each particular locality. So, in the current year, dates in March were suitable for diving seedlings of tomatoes - 12-13, 16-17, as well as the 21st. In April, the Lunar calendar pays special attention to such favorable days as April 9, 12-14.

Considering specific auspicious days for picking tomatoes in April 2017, you need to understand that for open ground and greenhouses, the dates will be slightly different. The optimal time in the second months of spring, after the dates already mentioned above, is 19 and 20, 24, and also on April 27 and 28. When compiling a dive calendar, not only the moon phase is taken into account, but also the position of the satellite of our planet relative to the zodiac constellations.

Interesting! Some activities related to the cultivation of garden plants need to be carried out on the waning moon. But landing and swooping, as a rule, takes place on the growing moon. But for each culture there may be its own characteristics, which the gardener must take into account if he wants to get an excellent crop.

Care after a dive

When a pick is made, the to-do list is not reduced, but increased. Because, for young tomato bushes, this is an injury and you need to help survive the rehabilitation period as easily as possible. During the first three days after the picking, put the tomatoes in a shaded place, then you can transfer the seedlings to grow in place with the optimal amount of bright light.

When choosing a new place for already pickled tomatoes, it is important to consider that direct sunlight will not benefit seedlings, but there should be a lot of light during the day. It is already possible to start preparing seedlings for transplanting in open or closed ground, for which every day leave for 30-60 minutes in the fresh air, constantly increasing the time of such aeration.

Advice! During the first two to three days after a dive, the air temperature in the room where the seedlings are kept should be 20-22 degrees Celsius, dropping to 16-18 degrees at night. After that, reduce the temperature during the day to 18-20 degrees and to 15-16 degrees of heat at night.

Regarding top dressing tomato, it must be carried out no earlier than the tenth day from the moment of the dive. Further fertilizing is carried out every two weeks with complex fertilizer. Fertilizers are being prepared on the basis of ten liters of water, 12 grams of potassium sulfates, 35 grams of superphosphate with the addition of four grams of urea.

Correct Dive Technology:

• Separate stems must be removed from the ground with the help of a convenient means at hand.These items will leave a sufficient amount of earthen coma on the roots, which will not allow their severe damage (you can take an ordinary teaspoon or a tablespoon).
• So that later the roots form actively, a recess is required in the new container. There send seedlings with earthen lumps, deepen to cotyledons. Do not plant the plant too deep: this will negatively affect its growth.
• Landing can be carried out both in separate containers and in a common container. In the second situation, it is necessary to leave a distance of at least six centimeters between the seedlings, with a secondary dive, the distance between the bushes should be from 15 cm.
• The soil will need to be compacted immediately after a dive, then moistened with water at room temperature.

If picking is carried out in order to immediately plant seedlings in a greenhouse or just to plant large enough bushes, it is extremely important to focus on specific favorable dates of the lunar calendar. In April there will not be many such days, but they are both at the beginning and at the end of the month. So, it is important to determine exactly when to carry out the manipulation and how to do everything correctly so that the bushes do not experience stress and begin to grow actively and quickly immediately after planting, delighting in the future with abundant flowering and an excellent harvest.

Experienced gardeners are inclined to believe that it is better to grow seedlings yourself than to buy ready-made seedlings in the markets.
