spring sowing in the field and in protected, warm bed and trays.
"It's time to plant the vegetables planted by mid-April onwards.
How to anticipate the spring sowing
Some time ago we dedicated a post to the various techniques of planting, you can take all year, but are just at the time that is about to open their moment of maximum spread in the gardens household. Most of the vegetables we grow in our garden, in fact, begin with the end of their growing season to give us fresh vegetables from spring, when the baskets will begin again to fill the shortage after the winter. Who wants to anticipate the growing cycle of its own vegetables can proceed Forced sowing in seedbeds, boxes or cells.
The seedlings are small plots of land where it worked fine plant for the production of bare-root seedlings can be transplanted in the ground when the weather allows. To anticipate the spring crops can be useful to build seedlings in sheltered areas or tunnels, in order to protect the plants from cold winds and frosts last winter. Even more effective, but laborious, is the adoption of the technique of sowing in a warm bed, ie seedlings in artificially heated or through the use of devices to recreate the natural conditions of ideal temperature for the proper germination of the species that are to be grown. We'll spend the near future a post to build a nursery manure heated using specially placed under the seedbed.
Semenzato open field
An alternative to the use of seedlings can be sown in boxes, ideal for the production of a small amount of seedlings. To overcome the shortage of available space in the cassette can be useful, a few weeks after germination, transplanting the seedlings in pots where they will further grow in the way of waiting for the definitive transplant in the ground.
This type of planting and is particularly suitable for those who, not having available large spaces in the garden to be dedicated to the construction of tunnels or battens, they still want to anticipate their crops, perhaps taking advantage of the ability to move boxes in sheltered areas at night to protect them from frost and outdoors during the day to enjoy the light of the increasingly longer spring days.
What use is the hot bed for sowing or at room temperature, the use of seedlings and cassettes can be employed for vegetable crops that tolerate well, transplantation, but entails high risks of failure for all the vegetables, conversely, are particularly sensitive to these cultural practices.
In this case is a particularly good seed in pots or cells, consisting of basement seeds in small pots or trays filled with potting soil (usually one to three seeds per cubicle) and the subsequent thinning, leaving a plant for each cell. This technique allows the production of seedlings with bread of land that can easily be deployed at home in the open when the weather allows, without causing any damage to the roots and to minimize the stress due to transplantation.
Semenzato repaired
Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, basil, radicchio, lettuce and cabbage are well suited to transplant bare root, and then sowing in seed beds or boxes. For cucurbits will not mandatory to use the jars, given the great difficulties that the roots of these plants to take root after abrupt transplants.
