Seeds cannot be kept in water for longer than 20 hours. Otherwise, they will suffocate and will not be able to germinate.

The best time to send planting material to seedlings is from early March to early April. Soil is prepared in advance or bought in stores. The best option for the soil is a mixture of land from the site, sand and peat. If desired or necessary, gardeners supplement the soil with humus and a small amount of wood ash, which reduces the acidity of the soil.

Sowing of planting material is carried out 60-65 days before planting seedlings in the ground. You need to dive the plant after the appearance of 2 full leaves. When planting in the ground, it is worth placing the plants away from each other. Optimal - up to 3 bushes per 1 square meter.
