When the seedlings appear, the seedlings must be dived at the phase of the first two or three leaves. It is better to prepare separate pots with garden soil supplemented with fertilizers - this will not damage the roots during transplantation. Before planting, the plants begin to harden. Usually they are taken out for a couple of hours into fresh air and brought back. Healthy bushes are planted in late May or early June, when the frosts are already behind.

When planting bushes, it is necessary to maintain a distance of half a meter. The recommended number of bushes per square meter is 4-6 pieces. At this distance, the plants will feel comfortable.
If the bushes are planted more densely, the formation of fungi or parasites is possible. After planting, it is necessary to carry out periodic feeding with nutrients, watering and loosening the earth. It is important to carry out top dressing in a complex so that the plant fully receives useful substances.
To protect the bush from pests and diseases, it is better to process and disinfect the ground before planting. To do this, it is necessary to spill the soil with a solution of hot potassium permanganate.
If you spray the leaves of the plant with a weak solution of potassium permanganate, this will help protect the crop from pests and their waste products.
It will not be superfluous to spray the beds with a solution of "Fitosporin" or another antifungal agent that will protect the plants from fungus on the leaves. Slugs and bears, natural pests, are harvested by hand. If tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse, the greenhouse must be regularly ventilated.
