How do I plant tomato seedlings?
tomato seedlings appear on the markets of farmers and kindergartens in the spring, ready for planting. Planting tomatoes requires good soil in the prepared bed and a place with full sun. For the best root development, tomato seedlings should be planted by part of the buried stem.
The preparation of the growing area is the first step to grow tomato seedlings. Tomatoes can be grown in a sunny garden bed or in outdoor hanging baskets or a container on the terrace. In pots or in the ground, tomato seedlings need as much sun as possible for the best growth and development. A minimum of six hours of the sun is needed a day, with more sun providing better growing results.
Garden beds should be prepared in the spring after the last date of frost. A layer of 2- to 4 inches (about 5 to 10 cm) of a well-spicy compost, dug into the highest 8 to 10 inches (about 20 to 25 cm) of the soil, can help improve nutrient levels and soil structure for the growing season. When preparing terrace pots or hanging baskets, behindLand -mixed soil with compost can provide a rich growing environment.
tomato seedlings can be discontinued as soon as the last frost date has elapsed. Offering, young plants are sensitive to frost and cannot tolerate even a slight frost when planted too early in the spring. Tomatoes require 65 to 90 days weather without frost to mature to harvest. The length of time between planting and harvest varies depending on diversity.
Planting holes should be dug before planting tomato seedlings. The holes should be slightly wider than the pots of kindergartens and deep enough to bury the root ball and the bottom 1/3 of the stem below the attic. The roots grow from the stems of tomatoes when they are under the soil, which increases the root capacity of the plant.
tomato dwarf plants are usually located 12 inches (about 30 cm) apart. Standard varieties of shrubs and vines require a gap of 24 to 36 inches (about 61 to91 cm) and large varieties of heritage require a gap of 36 to 48 inches (about 91 to 122 cm). Cages from tomatoes or bets support wine tomatoes during growth and fruit production.
terrace pots and hanging baskets should be at least 12 inches (about 30 cm). In larger pots, several tomatoes can be set together. Tomatoes of dwarf grapes grow well in hanging baskets.
seedlings should be removed from the kindergarten flower pot and placed in planting holes, while the soil was supplemented around each plant. Gentle soil pushing can help ensure tomato plants in the soil environment. Plants should be connected within six hours of planting to settle the soil and minimize the transplant shock.
