Growing recommendations
The variety is intended for cultivation in two ways:
- Seedling is considered the best. The technique allows you to get a harvest 10-14 days earlier than when planting without seedlings. Seeds are planted in specially prepared containers with soil a month before the expected day of planting. The optimum soil pH is 6.7. Care includes the organization of temperature and light conditions, watering, loosening and hardening before transplanting into the ground.
- Sowing seed. Sowing is started provided that the soil warms up to 15 degrees. The classic seeding time is mid-May. The optimum air temperature is at least 18 degrees.Before planting, the soil is pre-moistened. Sowing is carried out to a depth of 2-3 centimeters, provided the distance between the holes is five centimeters. Before the emergence of seedlings, the beds are covered with foil.
The plant should be planted on a level or elevated area. The garden bed should receive as much sunlight as possible. Further recommendations for care are timely watering, loosening the soil, removing weeds and feeding.
IMPORTANT! At the first signs of damage, it is necessary to treat the bushes with fungicidal agents.
