- Before planting in the soil, the seeds are hardened. This is done so that the plants do not suffer from temperature extremes in the future. And in our regions this phenomenon is not uncommon.
- Before sowing seeds, the land is fertilized with mineral fertilizing.
- Spill the area with warm water for germination.
- Planting begins in May, at a constant air temperature during the day from 20 degrees, at night not lower than 14. Seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse earlier - from 15 to 20 April. Thus, seedlings will grow faster in the greenhouse than seeds in the open field.

- Plants are examined for diseases on a daily basis. If you start the development of the fungus, it will destroy all future crops.
