A pick of tomatoes in April on the moon

In the conditions of the Russian climate and long vegetation, it is not possible to grow tomatoes by planting seeds directly into the ground. This can be done by growing the seedlings on the window for 2 months and then landing in the ground when a comfortable ambient temperature is reached. Therefore, the windows of summer residents are lined with pots and boxes with green plantings, as soon as the first spring days come.

Picking

Picking - This is the process of moving the plant into a larger container, sometimes with a pinching of the root to obtain an advanced root system. This occurs 2.3 weeks after seed emergence. The first pick is produced if there are at least 1.2 true leaves on the seedlings. To do this, prepare:

• large planting capacity or individual cups (plastic, peat cut milk bags and plastic bottles);
• good quality soil, purchased from the store or prepared by yourself;
• a fork or small device for extracting plants from the ground;
• weak potassium permanganate solution;
• old pencil or pen;
• scissors.

2. Fork hook a few bushes out of the ground.
3. Carefully disassemble them, trying not to cut the roots and not to break the thin stems.
4. Pinch the tips of the long roots at ¼ length.
5. Sprouts are placed in cooked holes on seven leaflets.
6. The holes are covered with earth.
7. From a medical pear spill a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
8. Clean for 2.3 days from the bright sun.
9. After 4.5 on the plants, an increase in foliage is observed.

The benefits of picks

• when it is necessary to suspend the growth of overgrown plants;
• when the seedlings are planted too often and the bushes oppress each other;
• the plants became ill with the black leg due to the lack of drainage holes in the planting tanks and urgent replacement of the soil is necessary.

• the waning moon - the moment for planting potatoes, carrots, beets and all root crops, all juices tend to the roots and are concentrated in the roots;
